editorialising
Adding personal commentary
Editorialising is expressing opinions in what should be neutral reporting or description.
A journalist editorialises by inserting personal views into news coverage: The article editorialises rather than presenting facts.
The term often carries disapproval—suggesting someone has overstepped their role as observer.
British spelling of editorializing.
