Agreed. And you would think at least some of the journalists would leak evidence of this if they took the integrity of their profession seriously. Again, a lack of evidence isn't proof it didn't happen either.
- mountainb 4y agoJournalism isn't a profession. Even nurses and some managerial employees are held to a higher standard of duty. You will have an easier time holding someone who is responsible for fixing ice cream machines to an objective standard of professionalism than you will a journalist. Some journalists have tried to conjure up "professional standards" that aren't binding, but the fact that they are not binding is why it's not a profession and why those "standards" are just suggestions. Unfortunately, the accumulated cruft of decades of wrongly decided cases grants this pseudo-profession many special rights and no formal duties to counterbalance those.

- fnordpiglet 4y agoCritical in the sense you’re using is being skeptical and investigative. Critical in the sense discussed in the tweet is monotone complaining.
- azinman2 4y agoSorry yes. I didn’t read the tweet, you’re right. I thought it was the tweet that this one referenced which wasn’t so negative.
