Conventional wisdom" is usually a term of disparagement. The emphasis is on "conventional" as in shopworn, mediocre, commonplace. But, actually, it is that commonality that makes this "generally accepted" wisdom most valuable. Conventional wisdom is the platform from which considerations of what is wise and true can best be launched. Without it, public discussion must rely on sometimes incompatible personal wisdoms, which are likely to be "partial" in both senses of the word, biased and incomplete. It is the presentation of conventional wisdom, and its constant renovation through reporting, that are the most crucial functions of journalism.
