Journalistic profession? Demands? Restraint?
Where are you getting your information?
I know of no oath a Journalist must take in order to perform the "profession". Certainly nothing like what a physician or an attorney would have to take. There is no "oath of office". (Isn't part of the inauguration to swear to 'uphold the Constitution'? Funny how that's played out in this administration)
Plus, Nobunaga, shouldn't you cast the plank from thine own eye, before trying to remove the speck from thine neighbor's? Or however that one goes. So, really, you can't hold someone else to a standard to which you can't hold yourself. That's called a double standard. Some might even call it "bias".
Run with that concept logically, and you'll probably recognize the faults in your previous statements.
Also, in an earlier post you called something racist that wasn't. In order to be racist, an act or a statement must implicitly convey a belief that another person's ethnicity makes them somehow inferior. To simply point out that one minority has something in common with another isn't racist. It's actually quite the complete opposite.
