That's a question of such utter naivety as to be unanswerable as presented. Perhaps first of all we should establish what you would consider to satisfy a requirement to 'report facts'.

If I ran a story, for example, that simply reported that more than 700 people survived after their ocean liner struck an iceberg and sank in the north Atlantic, would that statement of pure fact qualify?
