Martin replied by saying he had his copy well-thumbed. His "Balzac" as well, I'll bet.

Well, before Herman Cain mentioned it on National Television and the alphabets advertised it on News Shows ... most people had not even known that there WAS a Journalistic Code of Ethics ... NOW THEY DO.
Thank You Herman Cain for educating the 99% who need it.
How many of YOU knew about the Journalistic Code of Ethics? It's even ON LINE: http://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp
Seek Truth and Report It
Journalists should be honest, fair and courageous in gathering, reporting and interpreting information.
Journalists should:
Test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise care to avoid inadvertent error. Deliberate distortion is never permissible.
...
Distinguish between advocacy and news reporting. Analysis and commentary should be labeled and not misrepresent fact or context.
Distinguish news from advertising and shun hybrids that blur the lines between the two.
Recognize a special obligation to ensure that the public's business is conducted in the open and that government records are open to inspection.
This HIGHLIGHTS the use of Alinsky Rules of Radicals tactics by the Media!

Reporters making fun of journalistic ethics tells me all I need to know. Check out Andrea’s profile photo. She’s an anteater.

Andrea Mitchell seems to be ignorant of ethics, since she professed to not know about the Journalistic Code of Ethics (”whatever that is.”)

May I ask when or where either Andrea Mitchell or Jonathan Martin ever claimed to be journalists? To suggest they violated a code of ethics that does not apply to their vocation is as apropos as suggesting Herman Cain is guilty of sexual harassment.

Andrea (aka the “Palin Stalker”) got her B.A. in English literature and moved straight in to being a talking head on radio and TV. Ain’t no “Journalism” edumacation in her background.
