However, if they're any good at all, they can tell the difference
between their empirical fact and their personal opinion.

One of them is, after all, verifiable by the desk.

Some industry observers have noted that, with the cutbacks in many
news organizations (print especially), many stories do not get the
sort of editorial scrutiny they either used or ought to.  It's far
easier to fire half the copydesk than it is to let go of an expensive
big-name columnist.
