'Rubbish Journalism'
Their written English is horrible and their reporting standards are slack.

Lesson 1

Opinion - a view expressed by an individual
Fact - something that is proven
Quantify opinions which such adjectives as, minority, overwhelming etc to give perspective

Lesson 2
Using correct Syntax
