Analysis Is Opinion

Editor & Publisher has a story up about the now-infamous Bush/Straw Man story I posted about a few days back.

Here is the headline/premise for the article: AP's Bush 'Straw Man' Story: News Analysis Or Unlabeled Opinion?

It is an interesting read, but as far as I'm concerned "news analysis" is opinion. If journalists are going to "analyze" it should be marked as opinion, not news. News is the facts of what happened. Analysis is the opinion of an observer.

I agree with you 100%.

 

Should Fox change its name to the Fox opinion network?

Why would they do that? They report the news as well. Better than most of the other alphabet soup networks to boot.

You just have a knee-jerk reaction to Fox News, don’t you?
