corporate news and politics -- when did opinions become factual news and worthy of the front page?

It seems like facts have become fodder for the news cannon and peoples opinions get to blast holes in everything these days, especially in nationaly syndicated broadcasts, seemingly for ratings and partisan gain.

    I would be a smart a$$ and say when the Fox News Network started but i guess thats not really true. As long as there has been politics and media there has been partisan news. And depsite what EITHER side says each group (liberals AND conservatives) have thier outlets that put forth thier agenda. The key is to read from both sides and try to glean some truth from it...then form your own opinions...Good luck its a crazy world out there.

    Since time immemorial my friend. Take a look at newspapers from 50 or 100 years ago. The same tripe being printed today was printed then.
