Greg F., Genie, Jack, anybody--

I clear declarative statements so you cannot possibly misinterpret:

I want "Reporters" to report facts. I want them to report "who, what, when, where, how".

I do not what reporters to give me the "why".

I want commentators and analysts to provide the "why".

I want commentators and analysts to tell me what they think are the consequences of events in the news.

I want to know the background of people providing the "why".

I want to know the background of people providing the consequences.
                  
I want to know more.

I do not want to know less.

I want to have this information if they report for a government sponsored station.

I want to have this information if they report for a right leaning station.

I want to have this information if they report for or a left leaning station.

I will accept their punditry based on as much information I can get.

Or I will reject their views based on that information.

I may accept their offerings even if I disagree with their privately held views.

Your priorities seem to be different. I think mine better.
