College-is-best and Other Media Slants

The media too often repeats  uninformed, college-is-best chatter without further thought. Facts given to the right sources will correct the problem over time.
Other examples: Much raw or “seasonally adjusted” governmental statistical releases are manipulative and are poorly explained.
Nevertheless, blaring headlines repeat erroneous raw data; editors no doubt know full well the information is tainted. What’s the purpose, except for news slant? (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
