> In my opinion, if you are going to write a crime story, then you have a moral obligation to conclude that crime does not pay.

What if you are writing an article about a criminal that got away with their crime due to gaming the system? Do you have a moral obligation to lie/distort the truth to try and show your audience that "crime does not pay?" Is so, then how is that any different than rewriting the history books to suit the social agendas that you want to achieve?
