The Line Between Facts and Opininons is being Obilterated...

FACT: A fact is based on direct evidence, actual experience, or observation.

OPINION: It shows one's feelings about a subject. Solid opinions, while based on facts, are someone's views on a subject and not facts themselves.

What people deduce and make out of facts shows their own thought process and individuality which becomes their own opinion.
The point of contention though is that facts don’t change but opinions do and there lies the beauty of the human mind. Every man interprets the same given facts in different ways.
Although I still believe that facts are free, opinion is sacred.
Exemplified perfectly in the world today where everyone is out to sensationalize every little detail, twisting and distorting facts to make their papers sell or increase TRP ratings.
The heart of the problem is that the division between factual news reporting and opinion has become increasingly merged as newspapers pursue political agendas and seek to draw attention to themselves in a hyper-competitive market.
When our media is more interested in reporting opinions as facts, how will we ever discover the truth?
And are we actually willing to know the truth of are we just maintaining this transparent veneer of respectability by deriving a sadistic pleasure out of these mundane issues being blown up in proportion and displayed as breaking news every second on these news channels umpteen in number.
All I am trying to say is that though a fact doesn’t change it might never entirely be true.

'Never mistake a fact for the truth'
