Reporters do not distort the news. The only thing reports have going for them is their reputation and if they distort the stories they are reporting on then they lose that reputation and most possibly their jobs. A reporter may however show one side of a story and not the other there for giving you the impression they are distorting the news when they are not. They do this sometimes do to time constraints, some times due to pressure from their boss'.
