I recall a poll made in 2002 (cannot find the URL), where Americans were asked, in their thoughts, in terms of integrity, honest and trust, in 49 exposed common professions, obviously represented by professionals they see/know, which professions were the most honorable and which ones the most deplorable.

From the first place as the most honorable you could see doctors, nurses. Engineers.....

Number 48 or almost the most deplorable: Lawyers.

Number 49: Journalists along with Car Dealers.

To be ignorant, to perpetuate ignorance or even to struggle to indoctrinate through ignorance or by imposing ones' ignorance, IT also constitutes dishonesty.

Since Americans are fed up of journalists and since their biases and lethargy leads ones to think that the only thing that make them jerk is money, I suggest a law where all journalists are subject to make public all their sources of income.

B/C the only thing that justifies such an immorality OR better saying A-morality is cash.
