There is an idea that modern news reporting contyains a major methodological flaw. And this lies in the doctrine of "balance"; that is, when you present an idea you must also present a contrary idea. Unfortunately, this means thats the weight of evidence for the two ideas appears to be the same - they appear to stand on equal footing, even if they do not.
Christinaity is also possessed of a massive persecution complex, and combined with the above I think you can see a pernicious feedback loop in which the persectuion complex is aggravated by apparent "balance", which appears to validate its position.
