    Tarnished their reputation by stating facts?

    Seems like a reasonable defense.

        So if I drive 100 mph through a school zone it isn’t a fact until I’m convicted?

          That’s correct legally speaking.

          More specifically in cases of defamation, it would be on the news agency to show evidence (and that they had the evidence at the time) that what they wrote is true. Now whether they have the evidence is one issue, whether they want to reveal the evidence and by extension their sources is another. So even if the news agency has the evidence to back up its claims, it may still choose to throw in “may” and “allegedly” rather than to have to show these things in court.
