I think they should have mentioned the number of people who were on the flight for official purposes. Just saying that he took a private jet means little without "the rest of the story", as Paul Harvey used to say.
Leaving out pertinent facts is the main problem with the news, IMO. Well, other than making it up as they go.
Reporting used to include "Who, what, when, where, how and why" but it didn't require personal perception- that was up to the editorial page.
