Good question.

A long time ago I saw this panel on journalistic ethics and I believe said to the effect the journalist’s duty to the truth is why they’re not bound by ethics or oath of loyalty to follow the law and love of one’s country. I’m paraphrasing here from memory.

A general was outraged on listening to it and said that kind of view could endanger lives of troops operating in enemy territory. Wallace repeated the story is the first consideration.

Now Trump’s tax return. Their unmitigated sheer chutzpah is a sight to behold. They accuse Trump of every manner of reproach and look what they’re doing here! They’re not coming into the court of public opinion with clean hands.

And mucking about in people’s personal lives is not doing the public a service - in fact, its a complete disgrace. No wonder people think so little of the Fourth Estate. This episode is another nail in its coffin.

Just when you thought they couldn’t sink lower, they’ve set a new low, indeed.

They are beyond words, but they are vile.
