"Certain news reports provide objective analysis, and up to observer to decide."
I don't think any analysis is objective.
There is only so much beyond the raw details that can remain objective. If you are analyzing something then you are turning it into a subject of discussion and is therefor subjective. the talking points coming from whatever credentials or expertise supposedly brought forth.
I think that's where the media has really gone off the rails. To fill 24 hour channels and keep viewers clicking and scrolling on articles tremendous amounts of fluff around the facts has to be generated.
