Nearly all political issues are rooted in philosophical differences of opinion. "The facts" are merely the icing on the cake that various factions use to lure people to their ideology. Factual reporting is better than direct opinion reporting, but both are inherently interpreted by people in the context of the Overton window.

I don't want to get into the gory details in this tiny text box, but any number of current fear based political campaigns use wildly "distorted" facts to bolster their arguments, and most of the time reporters just blindly repeat whatever the person says without attempting to verify it.
