Are reporters obliged to clean up politicians' grammar?

Here is an eye/ear witness account of what was actually said:

Scoobie-isms:
(On allowing the ethics committee to make recommendations to County Commission, he complained that the committee was appointed to do "A pacific" job."

"....as soon as something has came out"...

"They's been a lot of people..."

"This buffoons me, this just buffoons me....."

(said during discussion of the duties of ethics committee, which Moore says do not include making policy for commission to follow)

Lumpy-isms:

Subject- ethics committee being allowed to make recommendations on nepotism, etc.

"This is reminiscent of the Inquisition, the Salem Witch Trials, the McCartney hearings"

Mark Harmon-in response- "I don't agree with the comparison to the Inquisition, the Salem Witch Trials and I hope Mr. Lambert meant the McCarthy Hearings- I am not familiar with the McCartney hearings."

*Note: Weren't the McCartney hearings held when Yoko Ono broke up the Beatles?
