The only thing you're ever going to get scolded for over here, barring the fringe folks of course, is writing articles and headlines which suggest our reality is something different than it is.

We just want you to stop coddling people. Because your insistence on doing that is why we're here

If we call bombing children and hospitals messy that prevents people from having empathy. If we call things potential or alleged war crimes that prevents people from feeling culpable for their choices. If we suggest there's debate about climate change it absolves our sins.

Corporate outlets have been doing this since the concept of print existed. Likely much longer before that. Whenever there is a benefit to spreading a story or omitting details you can be sure someone will do exactly that.

You may also get pretty scolded if you ever say "We used AI to..." people here really hate that (deservedly so, in my opinion)
