And by choosing to become an American "journalist", they should have already committed themselves to the defense and advocacy of "free speech" and "truth" -- and to maintaining the "press" as a necessary defense against governmental and societal excesses.
A fat lot of good it has done us.
And can we ever again trust any claim that they (the "mainstream" mass media) make, regardless of whether if it is accompanied by some "oath"? After all, what "truth" do we have left to compare their claims to -- the "truth" left in the propaganda that masquerades as common "knowledge" these days?
The media has broken in the face of the neocon offensive and run -- run after the almighty dollar -- and a table in the (public celebrity part of the) ruling class section. (The questions in the subject line are rhetorical, of course.)
