Opinions on headlines

News commentary is analysis or opinion about current events, as distinct from straightforward news reporting.

Commentators interpret what happened, explain why it matters, and often advocate positions: The network's news commentary leans conservative.

The line between news and commentary has blurred as opinion programming dominates cable news.
