Thanks for your thoughtful response. I'm afraid we still don't quite agree (not that agreement is necessary): >>> "It's not something a journalist is normally allowed to experience in this country." > My only complain is that sometimes the narrator's personal sentiments get mixed up with the factual reporting. The statement you quoted doesn't seem personal to me; it's not about the reporter's experience but about the experiences of journalists in general. And it's factual, not opinion or sentiment.
