If a leading politician says something deranged like "all crime is caused by gay people" - should the newspaper simply report that verbatim? Or should they say "the President lied today, and here are the facts that shows he is wrong"?

Sometimes it helps for institutions to point out the the emperor has no clothes. The social reinforcement of norms is hugely influential.
