<h2>Hindsight Bias</h2>

Explanation:

The predisposition of the people to consider  the events that have occurred as being more predictable than they actually were prior to the event actually happened. Due to this people often believe after the occurrence of an event that they could have predicted the outcome with high degree of certainty.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

<em>Agenda-setting theory</em> is a social science theory which attempts to make predictions regarding the influence of the media. It describes the ability of news media to influence the important topics on the public agenda.

This theory argues that the news media has a great influence on the audience by covering some news more frequently and prominently, thus making the audience think of it as more important.

Nevertheless, news media does not operate within a vacuum. Policy makers and participation of the public have an important role when it comes to the decision of what makes public priorities. Therefore the society is active in building the setting and making a causal relationship with the media which then is reshaping the agenda-setting.
