You have to consider that if these journalists get a reputation for publishing "hit pieces", they'll stop getting access. Does that make it right? No. But consider the journalists incentives. Also consider what happens if said journalist gets a reputation for publishing negative articles. It's the same reason you hardly ever see articles bashing popular stocks or investments even though they are outright scams or wildly inflated (eg: bitcoin). People say they want hard hitting tough news, but I actually think the reality shows this isn't the case.
