Can someone that has more smarts than me come up with a list of key words that when used in a report automatically show that this is the reporters opinion being heard.
i.e. "Which Means" when this phrase is spoken it means that someone is editorialising in my opinion.
Or "basically amounts to" Or maybe just he word "basically"
Does anyone understand What I am saying?
With a list of words that tip off a reader that he/she is not hearing proven facts but hearing someone's opinion. If this list could be written up we can educate other people on how to tell if they are getting facts and how to spot edidtorialisations(is that a word?)
Can anyone come up with something like this?
Please reply to me if you have any words like that.
Thanks for your time,
There are too many! Start reading articles from the end. That's where the useful facts usually appear.
Excellent idea!

Hey My vote actually does count!
My rule of thumb is this: Until proven otherwise and verifed by independant sources (usually FreeRepublic), all published news reports are to be treated as DNC press releases.
Any time the report states ANYTHING other than facts (Such and such happened today. three killed in fighting at.. So and so elected by ...) they are lying. Any time reporters add adjectives to their reports. (suspected, so-called, etc) they are lying. Any time reporters neglect to give all the details they are lying. In short, reporters lie about 98 (+2-1) percent of the time.
Of course there are some outlets that have higher credibility, 700 club, fox news etc. But even these have to be checked.
