They could do some actual journalism, find out the answers to some of these obvious follow-up questions, and report on them. Or, failing that, link to the press report since it seems like as is they aren't really adding much beyond that.
But my original complaint about editorializing was about the title the submitter wrote on HN, not the article title.
What if they couldn't grt an answer, should they just not publish in that case? And why would they link to the press release, they are not a propaganda office.
