I'm really sick of seeing the media either pretend to be willfully ignorant of the way science works for the sake of clicks or just be stupid in the first place

I'm really sick of seeing the media either pretend to be willfully ignorant of the way science works for the sake of clicks or just be stupid in the first place. Until they have something akin to study data they're going to tell you they don't know. Also, "can transmit" is a pretty tough bar to clear. If the worst off 1% of vaccine recipients can transmit COVID to someone while giving them mouth-to-mouth resuscitation it would technically count as "can transmit". It doesn't really get reported widely, but scientific studies have indicated that, logically, people who have worse cases of the virus are more contagious. [0] [1] It is highly likely that the vast majority of people given the mRNA vaccines, which are 90+% effective in eliminating symptoms, will be very minimally contagious. Studies are pending, but there's no reason to believe that teaching your immune system to destroy the virus wouldn't also make less virus to be shed to infect other people.
