The sentence fragment "but as a private citizen seeking revenge against the owner, who had wronged him in a business deal years before." ensures that the intent of the journalist was malevolent.

Since a private revenge was the motivating factor, he was not an unbiased or indifferent journalist.

A discerning journalist is one who is good in judgment. But here, the issue is that he had a private revenge as the motivation. This suggests the opposite, viz, indifferent.
