Media only sometimes fulfils its essential duty to be truthful

Media have a strong public service mission to provide only factual, unbiased material to the public. At times this mission is clearly accomplished, while at other times it seems to be completely disregarded by the writer. If a reporter accomplishes the goal, the media will have little to no opinion incorporated. For example, in this article posted on The Huffington Post, only facts are given. The article merely consists of quotations and descriptions of what happened. 

On the other hand, in this ‘tweet’ made by CNN, the facts are not presented fairly:

CNN clearly doesn’t give the full story. Anyone who knows the background of this post would know that Israel did not decide to attack Gaza without being prompted, as this message may imply. CNN purposely chose only certain facts to tell and portrayed them to the public in such a way to make Israel look like the bad guy. But this is not the only example of CNN producing biased work. In this clip and in the ‘tweet,’ it is apparent that CNN clearly has motives other than fulfilling its strong public service mission to provide unbiased material to the public.
