Nothing But The Newspapers?

I am not sure what Thomas Jefferson meant by the following quote.  But I do know one thing for sure:  sometimes newspapers (and other news media) do not report/publish news that I believe to be both relevant and important.  I wonder why?  If it is news, it is news, and fit to be published/released/shown.  I have a feeling Jefferson was referring to news that was not released due to a purpose related to special interest, therefore keeping some people "in the dark" and ill-informed.  (RD)

"The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers."
 Thomas Jefferson   (1743-1826)
