The ambiguity of your comment leaves space for the reader to guess whether you are blaming the police for their (alleged) comparative spending or blaming the journalists for their comparative coverage.

They could also just be saying a statement without forcing blame on anyone. If I say the sky is blue, I’m not blaming the sky for having moisture nor blaming my eyes for perceiving it as blue.
It is possible to state a fact without having evaluated it and pushing that as a narrative. I know it’s hard to imagine on the Internet but it happens with me all the time. People get really mad that you haven’t judged a fact and in the same way they have. It’s fucking annoying.
