re: #694 Obdicut

Reporters are supposed to keep their opinion that, say, the US has more credibility than Iran out of their stories?

So if they’re reporting on claims that the US and Iran are making, they should give equal weight to each one?

Yes, they report what’s being said.
And they report what the other side responds.
With no editorializing about it (except by the editorial staff, or the investigative reporters).

Well, at least that was the way it was taught to me when I was in journalism school; and it’s the way my dad operated. Things are obviously different now.
