Your sentence is not wrong, but I have a few comments.

Reporters usually like to think they report the facts objectively, and not with opinions. complaints and comments.

The real status of their country is a somewhat unclear phrase.

It sounds like the invaders, not the reporters, woke the nationalistic spirit. Is this what you mean?
