The news organizations don't share the idea of psychological type as the rest of us do. They do their own thing.

So what do you think of the types they pose?
-the modern man
-chic
-hipster
-tech man
-socialite
-asexual celebrity
-that man belonging to the current major political establishement
-that low-wage entrepreneur, like in, delivering food
-start-up guru
-dropoff, alcoholic

So.. if we carefully observe what the news provides us, what kind of world view do they offer?

What would you think of a semi-parodical test along "what kind of news would you make?"

Edit: I can think of more.

-The guilty
-the one who did social transgression
-that social justice warrior
-the world leader
-that super-neutral low-ranked person from a government office

Edit 2: What we're dealing with in here is either a cliché, or a trope, depending on how we view them.
