No. Journalists should be critical and contextualize.

They shouldn't be objective, as there is no such thing. Factual, yes, but not think that giving facts is objective, it only is something resembling it if you put it into context and are aware of the discourse and the contemporary media narrative and lived experience of your audience.

I would even go further and say that the sentiment of journalists with a large audience should be after contextualizing everything and if there is text left to be filled to present options sentiments and such which would enable adjustments of systems or perceptions so that marginalized and oppressed voices get amplified and maybe the persons behind them a better standing.

For not just reporting that there is torture in Gitmo, but contextualize it and make clear that torture is wrong, that it has to be stopped, that people responsible for it and furthering it should be put to justice. Show don't tell isn't enough in journalism. It is also make stuff accessible for people who don't have hours or dozens of hours to research on the internet and in libraries and to talk with experts.

And that's how propaganda is born and useless uneducated opinions from journalists not experienced in a field influence people in the wrong way.

People are perfectly capable of figuring out in this day and age that torture is wrong on their own. People can think for themselves. Adding opinions into a report doesn't add anything apart from influencing.

If you want to make an article about x or y and you want opinions a journalist should reach out to experts (not anonymous expert bullshit which is often their own opinion) in the field and ask for their input in why x or y is good/bad and explain the reasoning with it.

A journalists opinion or judgement themselves should NEVER make their way into an article.
