I think they should do a better job of social distancing themselves, but their job is not to be squeaky clean, its to bring us the news.

In your example, the robber is the person who made robbing illegal in the first place.
Important footage? Important in what way? To give your confirmation bias free rein?

The trip made by Cummings may or may not have exposed members of his family to the risk of infection but, if it did, the number of people involved was probably low. Compare that to the number of people involved in the media scrum that you seem to want to turn a blind eye to and everyone else they then associate with. I’m surprised that you could bring yourself to type such twaddle.
