Fact vs Opinion
The definition of a fact in the dictionary is “a thing that is indisputably the case.” This basically means that the presented information is undoubtedly true. Facts are usually confirmed to be facts when they don't have any bias thoughts in there, and what they said can be backed up by other evidence. An opinion, in the dictionary, is a view or judgement formed about something not based off of a fact or knowledge.
Take the Fact and Opinion survey.

Fact vs. Opinion
OpinionThis is mainly leaning towards opinion. This tweet by Donald Trump is an opinion because if you can see he says that Harry Reid was right that the Democrats were insane. He may think that but the reason it is an opinion is because people may not all think similarly. You know an opinion is an opinion because it questions peoples beliefs rather than giving straight facts.

NeutralThis example is what we call neutral. In this tweet, Obama is not giving opinions or facts. He is just giving his sentiments to the people who might've helped or died (or both) during 9/11. It contains some opinion, but these opinions are neutral because Americans from various political perspectives would agree.

FactThis image shows the "Top Behaviors on Facebook." It is an example of a fact, as there is no opinions or biases. It just shows the statistics of Facebook users. It includes statistics such as how many facebook users "clicked the like button" or "read an article."
