So often it just means "my prejudice was confirmed". It's like those chortling at "scientists show loneliness is bad" style stories. They miss the important word: SHOW.

Perhaps some ppl really mean that the information is consistent with their perception of the character of the subjects of the story. Like, "I can see that being true."
