I don't like the cynical style of this article, but I strongly disagree with your hope. On the contrary, journalists should be critical and give a clear narrative. It is an odditiy of modern (mainly anglo-saxon) media that it 'quotes' people to express its viewpoint. You can find a source to say any stupid thing or to provide quotes for any possible agenda, and uncritically quoting a press release or company presentation is not really adding value. Added value of good media is that it both informs and clearly makes judgements or provides interpretation. This should be transparent of course, not hidden behind 'expert quotes' that are just as biased as any journalist might be. I should also not be pure expression of opinions, but rather facts, analysis and a suggestion of a conclusion. I think the article provides this, even if it has a rather impolite style.
