In the about page, this author states that they produce "original reporting and commentary on the criminal justice system and civil liberties." I really think it is a mistake to blur that line. These days it feels like you can pretty reliably predict what narrative a journalist will present on any given story based on their individual poltics.

How can you reasonably expect to be viewed as an objective reporter of facts if you also are acting as a commentator trying to shape public opinion?

I used to think that it was possible to “objectively report facts” but the reality is we all have biases. Everyone needs to decide for themselves what is worth mentioning. So even if you state only 100% true facts, you can present a skewed lens on reality. This is how most propaganda works: not by spreading false facts but by selectively spreading true ones.

It's really not realistic to expect people to have deep knowledge of a topic and also have no opinions on it.
