A lot of photojournalists do set up shots, actually. The big difference, I think, is that they rarely get/give themselves five days to cover one thing with the sort of careful self-reflexion that you allow yourself.

When the author is honest about his or her prejudices, I know exactly where that point of view is coming from. And that allows me to evaluate it better for my own purposes. There's no such thing as transparent reporting. I like self-consciously subjective photos for the same reason that I prefer editorials over “hard” news.
