I don't have a problem with criticizing a news story or the reporter who wrote it or the editor who edited it or the entity that published it. I'm a journalist and I do that myself all the time, as do many other journalists I know. But I suggest some recalibration is in order before labeling the perceived shortcomings of one article (or even a bunch of articles) as "standard fare of
all reporters today" (boldface emphasis added).
