A good journalist understands that the facts are often more complicated than they seem at first glance and does the hard work of explaining the complexity and detail. A mediocre journalist mixes facts and opinion without differentiation. A phony journalist uses selected facts to support a position or opinion. I think Gracie shows promise.

A clear, cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colors because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.
This is settled science, unless you lean toward conspiracy theories, and the internet says different..
