You cannot compare the behavior of a random individual on an anonymous message board (some with numerous throwaway accounts) to a university educated journalist that works for a platform intended to inform and educate the public on various aspects of society and government.

And if you can then God help us all because the situation is way worse than this article suggests.

I can compare a large number of random people to journalists.

Oh I completely misread what you were saying. You were saying that the moral values of people in general is less as well. I apologize.

We talk about a "dumbing down" of Americans or even a "decline of the West." Part of that is the decline of our individual moral compasses.
