Back in 7th grade, my English teacher had us take any newspaper or magazine article; underline the statements of fact; and then go over them. POTUS said "...today is Tuesday." is not a fact as it is taken out of context. "The grass is pink." is a statement of fact but may be inaccurate. The vast majority of news contain very few statements of fact, most are commentaries, opinions, rumor, innuendo, or just made up. A fascinating lesson.
