Let me see if I understand you correctly.
If you were covering a White House news conference, and President Trump said, “Dustin-Dopps is a fool,” your duty as a professional reporter with a journalism degree would be to write, “At a news conference today, President Trump announced that Dustin-Dopps is a fool.”
For you to question or dispute Trump’s statement in any way would be injecting your opinion into a story, which is a violation of the journalistic code.
Does that about cover it?
