I feel that reporting which is done in a neutral tone tends to correlate well with organizations and individuals who are interested in factually true reporting. Also, people who are concerned about the truth will tend to use more weasel words, such as “appears to” or “alleges”, because those words leave open the possibility of being wrong.

So the "better" sources have an uphill fight to be influential.
