As nouns the difference between journalist and commentator is that journalist is journalist while commentator is a person who comments; especially someone who is paid to give his/her opinions in the media about current affairs, sports, etc.
Since the advent of the 24 hour/cable news, journalism is more like a news magazine, like the National Enquirer used to be. Not a lot of facts and plenty of opinions. The media is not supposed to shape political opinions...however, they do seem to try very hard to do just that. The media uncovers facts.
