Does the way something is portrayed, affect how we view the subject? Such as, if we only ever see or hear negatives about something.

Yes I think so. An easy example of this would be fashion trends, what’s in and out. Certain things are portrayed as tacky, not flattering etc therefore out. But the same thing will be back in style and portrayed as the opposite of those things. But the item may never have changed just our portrayal of it.

Yes, but not necessarily. Some people know what sources are biased and trying to control us. Some people see through the hype or negativity and superficial or dumbed down takes because they're educated in the subject. Some people have made their minds up about a subject and thus aren't influenced by positive or negative coverage. Etc.
