They do, 19Yzerman19's gripe is two fold:

(1) that a journalist should tell you the name of the case in the article, the issue that was decided and if the article is online a link to the SCC decision.

I agree.

It shouldn't be the reader's job to go hunting the story and citing it for the journalist. That's the journalist'a job.

(2) when reporting the facts and issue at hand, the journalist shouldn't be editorializing. There is a time and a ace for editorials. A straight up "the Supreme Court made a ruling…" isn't one. An editorial should be labeled as such and not presented as fact.

I also agree with that.
