Reporters do not share their opinions in newspapers or on TV unless it is billed as "editorial." Recall CBS anchor Walter Cronkite "editorializing" on Vietnam War, too, after he did his tour.  Everyone knew it was his personal opinion.   

Perhaps you confuse "columnist"/"commentator" with "reporter," Real. You aren't alone. Many do--especially younger readers/viewers. 

Now that you know, I suspect you won't make the same mistake again.  

Will you?
