Please find a news story that blew the facts out of proportion. Please tell 1. Why you think it was blown out of proportion, and 2. How the facts should have been stated instead so that the story would be interesting, but not sensationalized.

A story I recently discovered on Fox News that I believe completely blew the facts out of proportion was the appearance of a psychiatrist by the name of Keith Ablow who was called in by the Fox News team to evaluate Joe Biden's performance in the 2012 Vice Presidential debate.  First of all, the fact that they even called in a psychiatrist was inappropriate, already insinuating by this move that there was something mentally wrong with Biden's performance.  However, it got even worse when Ablow diagnosed Biden with dementia purely based on the fact that he interrupted Paul Ryan multiple times.  When one of the other commentators on the show ventured to contradict him, he started proffering even more ridiculous scenarios as to why Biden was acting the way he was, going so far as to hypothesize that Biden had been drinking before the debate.

Both claims were ridiculous and unfounded considering Biden could remember tons of intricate facts (something that someone with dementia or drunk could never do).  Biden's mother and sister were both killed in a drunk driving accident as well, causing him to very rarely drink.  The other way this story blew the facts out of proportion was by having someone with a medical license state conjectures as if they were facts, his license giving him a false authority for this.  A better way to analyze the Vice Presidential debate would have been to summarize what was said during the debate for the audience and then fact check all the claims that were made.  Instead, they chose to offer their own unfounded opinion.
