This - sadly but wrongly - assumes journalists have some particular extra integrity. I don’t think they have any more integrity than anyone else.

@jon I would say that there are definitely specific journalists that have particular integrity which is driven by a journalistic philosophy, but this is indeed absolutely not true for "journalists" as a broader category of people, in my experience...

@joepie91 Sure. But there are some of the general public as well who have extra high levels of integrity as well.

@jon Definitely. Though that's usually not due to journalistic philosophy :)

I think the distinction matters mainly because the handful of journalists who *do* actually have journalistic integrity specifically, tend to be used to (unreasonably) shield the entire profession...
