I'm pretty sure it's bias by selection of sources.

OpenStudy (jademc01):

Bias by the Selection of Sources: "Including more sources in a story who support one view over another. This bias can also be seen when a reporter uses such phrases as "experts believe," "observers say," or "most people think." This article does this numerous times. It's definitely bias by selection of sources.
