Do the people who report the news realize they don't have to reprint the administration talking points word for word?

From today's CNN.com article:

"More than 10,000 fugitives from justice have been captured in a nationwide, weeklong dragnet, law enforcement sources said"

Fugitives from justice? Who caught them? Batman?

"'We're really amazed. We had no idea we'd apprehend more than 10,000 bad guys,' said one federal law enforcement official who asked not to be identified."

If I was a grown man who used the phrase "bad guys" when discussing the arrests of murderers, gang members and sex offenders, I wouldn't want to be identified either.
