High Crimes and Mis-Reporting| The Post & Email:

ARE “JOURNALISTS” TODAY ADHERING TO THEIR OWN CODE OF ETHICS?

by Neil Turner

(Oct. 21, 2011) — Article II, Section 4 of our Constitution speaks of all sworn civil servants being removed from Office if found guilty of other ‘high’ Crimes. E.g. lying while under an Oath of Office – which would include everything they say publicly while ‘in office’ – is a ‘HIGH’ crime, committed while in ‘high (elected)’ Office.

By the same token, the Society of Professional Journalists have a Code of Ethics which they subscribe to, and violation of this code should lead to their banishment from the ‘Society’ and, one would think, removal from the ‘Profession’. Below are excerpts from that Code of Ethics:
