The author clearly supports the causes he writes about, but he is more a narrator than (i)______. Some say he should have included more (ii)______, but he is wise to let the fact speak for themselves.

个人思路是:
1. clearly supports/ more a narrator than --> advocate
“作者明显是支持他所写的那些原因,但他更多的是只去叙述[事件],而非去鼓吹[这些原因的正确性]” (A报道者和C反对者都不是很合适的样子)
should have included more/ let the fact speaks for themselves --> analysis of events
有的人认为作者应该多做一些事件的分析,但他只是让事实自己说明问题。(后文的interpretation和competing claims也暗指这种[带有主观成分的]analysis)
