I highly suspect the poster you were responding to was more likely upset with the concept of journalistic integrity and being unbiased, not a definition of the job. I don't think this is a very large leap to make given the context and

I'm concerned that someone might take my previous statement and assume this means all blood donations are safe -- they're not. Without a bunch of steps in place they're horrifyingly risky, and our screening technology is not

I think I grossly oversold this thing because there's a lot of comments here asking for something. I don't really have this concept written down anywhere like a number of other ideas I have. But, I guess the short version is, if I
