Are news organizations under a legal obligation not to edit their product in such a way as to 'push' for their cause?

Katie Couric is a public figure too.

I guarantee she said each of those words and the context is not important according to her own legal team. :evil2:

The Yahoo News anchor expressed her concern over people falling for fake news and called upon her fellow journalists to do a better job at helping people understand "complicated issues."
