A couple of days ago there were very strong winds in my area that caused a lot of falling tree limbs and property damage. The next day the newspaper reported, correctly, the fact that the weather had indeed been like that. I'm not sure how this fits with your claim unless you're using the words "fact" and "observation" in an epistemically radical way.
All facts begin as observations. Not all observations are facts.
All I'm saying is that the media operates on the level of "observations." That doesn't mean that some of those observations are not facts, just that the verification process that makes an observation a fact is outside the domain of media.
