Depends on the writer and the subject. 

I was a court reporter for a while. Sometimes I knew the cops on cases and we'd talk off the record. It was hard to write a story about someone being innocent when someone else you trusted told you why they weren't, but couldn't prove it. As a local sports reporter, if you want to stay employed you write with bias.

But if it's something you don't know about and have no emotion/stake in, then it's much easier.
