I don't think it's that simple. People often forget that usually it's the journalist that is in the power position. If someone is willing to sit in front of someone that might "co-opt their narrative", they must have something they really need. Usually, this is exposure to a large audience. This is why you would "hide the fact", because otherwise they may not give you the exposure you so desire. -This exchange is the bulk of journalism.
