First off, this has little to nothing to do with the issue of CNN+ closing, so it smells a lot like flamebait to me... but, assuming this comment was made in good faith: > Journalism is about reporting events, not interpreting them. This is a description of an idyllic fantasy world that's never existed. One can (I think reasonably) argue that the current generation of for-profit news is far more likely to spin the facts according to a predetermined agenda in their never-ending pursuit of viewership and associated profits. But journalism has never, ever, involved simply "reporting events". Just the decision as to which events to report on is an editorial decision.
