I read your other article linked at the end of this one and "It is not a compliment!" is too saavy by half.

Sorry, I thought I was reading nonfiction journalists and not Emily Dickinson wannabes, my mistake.

No disrespect intended ...

These implicit "rules of objectivity" aren't very objective and are unlikely to lead journalists to more factual reporting.
