Even though objectivity is seen as the gold standard for news coverage, OpEds and commentary have been part of the news landscape since the early days of America ā and it's not always easy to spot the difference between facts and opinion.

As usual PBS has to step up where mainstream news has screwed up in media literacy training

I quit the news for a while because I wasn't finding much news just opinions. Now I spend a lot of time on fact checking websites as they seem to be both current and factual in what they are saying.
292 |
I remember when I was in grade school (3rd, IIRC) there was an entire lesson on discerning factual statements from opinions, and I thought it was the dumbest thing I ever had to sit through. There were a few examples that could be a bit tricky for 8-year-olds but it seems this kind of teaching is needed today more than ever.
274 |
When TV shows said "Who needs history? It's all in the past.". Now we people who don't understand fact from opinion.

I believe strongly that critical thinking skills are a necessity, and should be taught at all levels of school. With so much data bombarding us daily, most of it contradictory, we all need to understand how to evaluate the source material and how to weigh differing opinions. Thanks for this video.

I remember it starting when cable tv became a thing. Fox News started the first news like opinion segments. They became so popular that they took over that channel and then it spilled over into everywhere else
64 |
I remember the daily newspaper Mom and Dad got had a page of opinion and they always had 2 articles written by people from each side. I always enjoyed reading it.

These days, the real issue is ads that look and feel like news or opinion articles.
56 |
The hilarious thing is how people see anything and everything as an āopinionā especially when it comes to non-negotiables. There isnāt a middle ground for every topic under the sun.

This series is really great, but my golly the music is loud. It's difficult to hear the speaker. Thank you for adding the closed captioning!

This would explain why the family that perfected yellow journalism owns Reddit.

Im happy to see this woman still on pbs. Ive enjoyed the pieces shes done in the past

This was really well done. The problem though, is not opinions in the news, it's when opinions `become` the news. Most of that is our own fault. People like to be told what they want to hear. This is why the news barely even veils their bias anymore, because we've become so polarized that if they were truly objective, no one would pay attention. Inevitably they would report on something in a way the consumer doesn't like. So, they pick their market shares and tell them what they want to hear.

My big issue with news sources these days, primarily videos but a lot of other types of media as well, is that I will see a headline, click on it and don't really get what the headline is about.
If Biden or Trump makes some kind of speech or comment, I want to see the whole of that represented.
Instead, I get an out of context video clip of Biden/Trump that on average seems to last two minutes wedged into eight other minutes of someone telling me how I should view what was said. I have little use for such nonsense.

I was just complaining about this the other day. I am so tired of every news segment including interviews, i.e. opinions. There are times when interviews are necessary in the news, such as to better understand what is going on or to stir up intellectual discussions. But too many times it seems that there are interviews that don't serve a purpose other than to create speculation. I just want the news to be the news, tell me what's happening in the world, not a 10 minute segment of "It could", "They should've done", "They might", etc.

As a publisher of two small community newspapers in the southern region of Silicon Valley, we publish opinion pieces as guest columns, an editorial and local news stories in each issue. I'm amazed how many people have a hard time understanding the differences between opinion and news. A big part of the problem is that schools have taken real journalism out as an option for students to learn mass media communication skills. A lot of students are not interested in the free press. What they get is social media nonsense and they digest that nonsense as news. And so society is growing more divided because social media systems feed them only the nonsense they want, so they lack a variety of opinions in their information "diet" (a necessity for a democracy to function in a healthy manner).

PBS is one of the few news outlets that just gives you the facts and nothing more.

A great visual essay. Like highlighting āthis is an advertisementā, all op-eds should be similarly labelled. Objectivity is now a rare commodity in the news.
6 |
There is also the advent of the news aggregators. Ground News labels articles as to their accuracy, leanings (right, left, center), funding source and independent vs. corporate vs. governmental. This is very helpful for understanding the world.
