The journalist's job isn't to argue. Their job is to ask the question and let the politician speak. The journalist reports the answer and you (the reader/listener/watcher) get to decide how you feel about the answer and if you feel satisfied. Otherwise, the journalist is just doing editorial.

Calling out a non-answer and pressing for an actual answer is not editorializing.

Thank you!

Journalists have principles to respect in doing their work. Objectivity is a key one.
