The media shapes the news instead of reporting it. With the internet and talk radio plus Fox, that`s not so easy any more.

and talk radio plus Fox

It would be wise not to trust any media sources, I suspect there is plenety of 'news' shaped at Fox, we just are more inclined here to like the way it is shaped.

In my opinion, news is fact, and there has long been more of a trend to report less fact and more opinion from all outlets on just about everything.

Indeed, now that the media sees its roles as analysis and interpretation, instead of straight reportage of facts.This is why the term "journalist" is preferred over "reporter." This is what is taught in the Journo schools and is what feeds their little egos.
