Objective and Subjective 

There is a difference between objective and subjective value:

Objective part focuses on facts and makes it clear when something is an opinion. It uses framing to show the news in a clear way. 

Subjective part is often based on personal opinions

and interpretations (interpretaties). It uses framing to get more attention and can ‘sensationalise’ topics. Subjective part can be more unreliable because it focuses more on sensation than on facts. 

unreliable=false · fickle · inaccurate ·
