This appears to be a rather different issue than the one you started with - are you you now objecting to journalists being careful not to inject anything that might be construed as their personal opinion? There are obvious reasons why journalists would do that.

With regard to your example here, it does not fit your original situation of a claim being being corrected - and it is a remarkably small issue to ge worked up about.

As far as I can tell, nothing in your latest post has anything to do with the claim in the post you are nominally replying to.
