MODERATORS
Sorry, but I've gotta disagree. Even in things you might just call "reporting", there are always choices that have to be made in what facts a journalist chooses to include or exclude and whose claims of facts get examined and complicated for the readers and which are just taken at face value and repeated, and journalists should be pushed to make those choices in an intelligent and responsible way.
e; added words to flesh out the same basic thought
Reporters are very often not experts in the things they report on. You don't want them injecting their own personal thoughts into every article. Picture an anti-vax reporter reporting on a CDC briefing.
They're reporting on what the guy said so that you know what was said. You can make the determination on whether it has merits or not and, in fact, you have. There are times where you need press to push back - that's Journalism. But your average on-the-street reporter who isn't an expert in everything isn't equipped to do more than "observe and report" which is fine.
Reporters doing their jobs also report on experts’ views for an alternative viewpoint. Which they should do any time a cop says anything.
