The media reports everything the president does if it's eye catching enough to make people read it, and everything he does is eye catching. But they want everyone reading it to want to read their newspaper/website again as their no 1 priority, so they have to show both what he said and the critique of it as equally valid and not complain about it in their text.

On some level the news media being unbiased is good, but even Walter Cronkite would make personal statements when it called for it. Otherwise the news gets where it is now. Every article is metaphorically judging between using the toaster to toast bread versus sticking a fork in it and electrocuting the shit out of yourself like both of those are equally valid things to do for breakfast.

And not everything is that obvious which to choose.
