So, you must admit that the news takes things out of context?
I should think that most people would agree that what makes it to the news is often dreadfully de-contextualised.
This isn't neccessarily an intentional form of spin or deception, its just a neccessary evil to fit what are almost certainly very complex situations into a short slot for a tv report.
Naturally the choice of exactly how that contextualisation is done is going to reflect the priorities of the reporter or whoever prepares the story.
