A 'good' journalist would truly live up to the codes of journalistic ethics - whereas the profitable journalist pretends to but does not. In effect those codes of ethics tell you what you want to hear - and then the journalist does what helps the bottom line.

IMO: a good description of the Fox Newsertainment Channel.

Not in my opinion. Sensationalization is when every little delay on a blitzkrieg to Baghdad is tantamount to the battle of Waterloo. That's the way it was played by Peter Arnet, and that's the way it was played by BBC and most news services.

Whereas FNC has hit on a brilliant strategy for getting the straight skinny - they just listen to the briefings given by the US military, and trust them. Viola! Instant genious! Meanwhile the competition is so busy trying to prove that the military is wrong that they have no chance at all of seeing the truth. Namely, that the military knows better than to lie to the press.
