French term

distorsions thématiques

French to English Other Media / Multimedia clinical research
From a sociology article on how the pharmaceutical industry influences and distorts clinical research:

"La lettre personnalisée semble ici correspondre a la volonté de l'industriel de contourner le circuit classique de l'information scientifique en profitant de sa parfaite connaissance des prescripteurs et de sa capacité a dialoguer directement avec eux dans le cadre strict de la loi. Capacité qui dépassait de loin celle de ses contradicteurs, obliges d'utiliser les médias généralistes et de s'exposer ainis aux risques de distorsions thématiques et dramatiques, dont nous avons montre les effets."

biased treatment

depending on whether the media consider the issue to be of topical or dramatic interest. In other words, the popular media will only pick up a subject/issue if it is commercially interesting and therefore give a biased image.
