    From a legal point of view it hasn’t been tried in a court of law, which is why words like “apparently” and “allegedly” are used.

      By that logic, it would impossible to report on literally anything.

        That is literally what happens in US news when the subject involves a criminal offence or could be considered defamation.

        Yes. It’s impossible to report objectively on capitalists with enough control to sue. This has been shown again and again.

            Less than perfectly, due to the constraints of the system they are forced to operate within.*

            You are, of course, free to start up a news agency that fulfills every ideal you hold close, just know that you’ll have to have a lot of funding if you’re going to be spending as much time in court defending against libel lawsuits as you spend on reporting.
