While some stories require treatment like this, others do not. A prison riot, for example, could be written up without any comment at all on the reporter's part. On the other hand, if the prison's warden blamed the fracas on a niggardly budget, then the article should include figures on what that budget was and perhaps how it compares to those in other states.

He works as an X-ray technician in the prison hospital. Through the prison school and correspondence courses, he has learned "about 25 languages." Next New Year's Day he will be eligible for parole.
