The problem with news stories as you reference is they are far from detailed enough and suffer the problem of limited length to be able to fairly discuss the topics and allow a reader to form an opinon based upon sufficient facts to be accurate.
The story was well written and seemed fairly objective but due to reasons I cite it raises more questions than it answers.
The situation is far more complex than can be addressed in a couple of thousand word article.
If they were to start a series and devote weeks worth of space they might do a much better job of describing the situation but they would have to do a lot of research and interview a great number of people to do so effectively.
Are they willing to devote those kinds of assets to the project?
