News Topic: OPINION
Have you noticed in recent months, the distinct movement away from factual news, to opinion? We sure have. If you have an agenda to push, or a cultural group to influence, then news websites seem to be the tool of choice.
So we at AANN have made the decision to headline our articles with the news topic content; will the article contain facts, which is what news should be all about, or will it be the opinion of the author?
In writing this article, I have been monitoring various online 'news' outlets, and if you take longer than 20 seconds to scan a news story, and read between the lines, then you start to question the motive of the story. Why has it been published? Who is the story benefiting? Or, who is the news article targeting? This seems to be the direction the commercial news outlets seem to be taking.
I will follow up this article with case-in-point examples, and I encourage you to submit them also. In the mean time, in the interest of fair journalism, I will say this is my opinion, until I present you with the facts.
