judging them in the light of their work
Do point out for us the other stories that lead you to conclude this particular journo is a 'scumbag'. I'm comfortable forming opinions about people's character from a consistent pattern of behaviour. Just seeing more of yours than hers in this instance.

if one was requested and refused it seems a bit unfair to complain a story lacks context.
That's not particularly relevant without any evidence that it's true in this case. You're stretching a bit.

if those parties won't front to explain themselves
