No, it is not right. If a person wishes to insert their own words into an article (as in clarification of a point), then they need to let the reader know they are doing so. A usually accepted form is using [whatever these bracket things are called].

The person is probably an aspiring journalist. They are notorious for mixing opinion with facts and then presenting the conglomerate as fact.
