Appears you're making no distinction between opinion columns/editorials and the reporting of current events, more commonly known as "the news".
Walter Kronkites todays media are not.
Point out what isn't fact Dill.

Sure. Editorial decisions are not "facts.
" They are value judgments. Two abortion cases were decided on the day Roe vs Wade was decided, and in your video the other one (Doe vs Bolton) is not mentioned by name. There was a decision to emphasize one and not the other. 

Also, the editors selected who spoke for each side of the issue, and for how long.

Back when "liberal media bias" was the song of the fringe right, Walter Cronkite was the exemplar of it. To many he still is. http://www.aim.org/aim-column/the-terrible-truth-about-walter-cronkite/

And what the fringe right complained about was not that there "weren't facts" in news reporting, but that the selection and ordering of facts influenced audience response positively or negatively even when no "opinion" was presented.

Now that the fringe right has become mainstream, the video of your 1973 CBS News announcement still raises the hackles of pro-life viewers.

Needless to say Herman, like Cronkite and all correspondents, only partially described the decision[s] accurately. Herman alluded to a second case but did not clarify that it was Roe’s companion case—Doe v. Bolton—that fleshed out the expansionary impact of what Roe meant.Three things stood out in Herman’s report, besides the initial error of reporting Roe as if it limited abortion to the first trimester.
One was a reference that later in pregnancy “the states may take legal action to protect the unborn child”! “Child”?
Second, the decision[s] “thus sets limits on the right to abortion on demand,” which, in fact, they did not.
Third, and this is key to understanding where Justice Harry Blackmun, the author of Roe and Doe, was in 1973 (he became much more of an ardent feminist in later years), Herman reported, “In effect the court made abortions subject only to the decision of the pregnant woman’s doctor.” Not the woman, but “the pregnant woman’s doctor.”
