Formulating opinion, not reporting facts is what modern "news" is all about. The print media are the worst, network broadcast a close second.
While I do read papers, I rarely bother with broadcast news. It's odd, as a kid I used to cringe when the evening news came on, and would find something else to do. Then for many years, I loved the reports. Things have gone full circle, and I now really can't tolerate the grinning idiots.
