Is news a fact or a story?

There have been a conflict between Fox news and White house last year. Rahm Emmanuel, White House Chief of Staff claimed that Fox news is an institute which has their own perspective. Many people agree that news should be fact-based, but it does not qualify as a news cause news is a story which has several characters, issues, conflict, and development of story.

This does not mean that news manipulates the truth. Even though news is based on facts, but views of media are reflected on the news. This is why media has different angles of opinions on the same event. Nobody can say which view is right or wrong. The judgement depends on each audience. in the past, media could hide bad news or focus on a specific event to control viewer or readers' thought. But, most people have the knowledge to verify whether or not the news is fairly reported since they can easily access to information on the Internet.
