Is journalist a title that's "officially" bestowed or gained from honestly trying to report the truth, as the journalist best understands it?
I would argue that someone who's job is to knowingly push [1] a false government narrative in newspaper articles is not a journalist at all.
[1] I need to really highlight this phrase here, even honest journalists can be mislead or honestly report the statements of others who intended to mislead.

The term journalist has definition that depends from country to country. Generally all foreign journalists are given an accreditation by government and recognized as such, giving them certain privileges and responsibilities. Your personal opinion about this matter means zilch to any government.
