Such a style is called-for when you're dealing with bland bureaucrats trying to toe the party-line and obscure the truth behind their actions.
I'm old enough to remember when we gave politicians the benefit of the doubt. It didn't work out so well. Perhaps if they weren't so dissimulative, the press would not be so aggressive?
I don't trust politicians who only agree to softball interviews. You shouldn't either.
