As opposed to the general population? Look at the comments here or on Reddit and tell me about the average person's moral reasoning.

But journalists are specially trained. They are society's best people (according to journalists). There have been proposals for laws that would give them special rights and make them citizens above everyone else. For them to be revealed to be worse than they used to be is highly revealing.

No. Not really. I do not know anyone who thinks journalist are morally superior.
