... now I didn't say the reporter wasn't handing out lighters seeing if anybody WOULD light a few torches. But, as long as it's restrained and balanced, that IS his job, we'll be told. (In all fairness, "splashed" is probably a bit strong to describe how the officials were named since it was well into the article [but I know what you mean]. Everyone has a different tolerance level to media coverage.)

Another way to look at it is that by naming names, they can be rightfully defended as high-quality, class acts if needed (or then again, maybe not ...).
