>If the journalism is good, does it matter what gets published and what doesn’t?
I think so. Let's say I have evidence company A and company B are both selling products that make your teeth fall out. But for whatever reason I only report the evidence about company A and I say nothing about about company B. The journalism is good and I'm not telling any lies but its completely reasonable to question my motivations.
