By adding a single "aparently" in the paragraph?

[Semaphor]

"seemed" and "apparently". I don’t think they are hiding it from anyone but you.

The author reflecting why they got this much-valued access is the actually interesting part of this.

How is the author's misguided speculation interesting?

If that was supposed to be the interesting part the title wouldn't be:

> Life Aboard a Nuclear Submarine

Just report what you saw, not what you feel.

Reporters used to know to not be the subject.

They were invited on and that wasn't good enough.

They had to make up some plot in their head why they were invited on to confirm their bias and influence others.

You’d rather they be a transparent conduit for state propaganda? Better to remind readers that the military sees value in this article existing.

[theultdev]

No I'd rather just read about god damn life on the god damn submarine as the title suggests.

A quick conversation with my brother about what it was like was more informative than this trash.

[bertil]

Can we talk to your brother about the operation details of live on-board, too?

[theultdev]

Why, because the article didn't satisfy you right?

Totally agree.
