"who what where when how", etc. that's the point of news. Tell the people that. Save the rest for the opinion pages, and don't muddy the two.

Are you suggesting opinion can be removed completely from news stories? Are the story choices themselves outside of opinion?

Well, no and no. The real reason local news is a horror story fiesta every night is because good news is boring. It doesn’t sell.

I'm not saying one entity can't do both, but "news" should be cold information about happenings.

"Opinion/editorial" is the follow up analysis about facts.
