editorialization

Adding personal views

Editorialization is the act of injecting opinion or bias into what should be neutral reporting or presentation.

A news article editorializes when it slips from facts into commentary: The piece was criticized for its editorialization of the candidate's remarks.

The term often carries disapproval, suggesting someone has overstepped their role as objective observer.
