That's not really possible, given that the mere omission of facts, or the placement of facts next to each other influences the conclusion.

Besides which, people think in stories, and presenting just a list of facts isn't going to be read by anyone.

That's a separate issue which should be a concern but shouldn't prevent you from wanting to correct the other issues. You can compare different outlets to see ommission of news.

The spin, speculation, and lack of sources are the other issues.

I would read a list of facts over a story. I hate fluff. Most people don't even read the story, they read the title and possibly the first/last paragaph.
