It's a very complicated issue about when is a fact not a fact in the context of opinions.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Opinion is dominating, which is absolutely ridiculous - there wouldn't be anything for people to have opinions about if there weren't people out there gathering facts on the ground.
Be able to notice all the confusion between fact and opinion that appears in the news.
It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that's not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything.
Facts and data, rather than opinion, are the two cornerstones of problem solving, and yet they are consistently withheld from the people by American media. We must have facts and data in order to recognize where there is a problem!
I tell my students, even if you are an opinion journalist, your opinion should be based on facts.
If something is presented as a fact, it has to be correct.
Some people have facts; these can be proven. Some people have theories; these can be disproven. But people with opinions are mindless and have their minds made up about it.
You can't take people's opinions personally. Usually what people say about it is a reflection of them own issues.
Facts cannot be replaced by opinion.
Interdependence is a fact, it's not an opinion.
