What wasn't fact?

True the headline not, but the rest seemed factual.

Spin perhaps was high, but it wasn't opinion. They seem to have been careful and specifically only stated facts. "He looked", "it's believed" etc

What is spin if not opinion expressed through facts?

What's a fact if not an opinion so firmly believed that one has to suffer a cognitive dissonance when it's countered?

Truth is not measured by the production of cognitive dissonance. "Cognitive dissonance" is not even a validated phenomena, it's just barely more than psychobabble.

Your comparison here is dangerously wrong.
