Big News Morgans is indeed known as a character with significant influence through his media. As the owner of the largest newspaper in the world of ONE PIECE, he can easily shape public opinion.

This is evident when he reports events in Egghead with a version different from reality. The narrative he creates actually worsens the situation and affects the world's perception.
