On the subject of journalistic integrity, I found an article of interest in The New York Times Op-Ed section this Sunday, in "The Public Editor," a column by Byron Calame.
The New York Times's ethical guidelines say that a reporter should not express opinions in radio or on TV that they would not be allowed to say in the paper, presumably because the paper purports to be objective and as unbiased as possible.
At the very least, the ethical guidelines for journalists with regards to expressing their opinions on the radio, on television, in a book, or in a ‘public speech’ need to be more clearly and explicitly defined.

The story, and the resoundingly negative reaction to it from journalists and journalism ethicists across the country, made the clear point that the work of the Los Angeles editors and reporters had been compromised -- not only on the magazine project, but also on any future coverage of the arena and its various partners.

 Journalistic Integrity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Many journalists would be content to write their stories without conducting actual interviews, so expecting them to record the interviewee’s actual words is quite unrealistic.

Unless this journalist is covering up US atrocities or actively misrepoerting what he is seeing, I'm not sure that I could criticize this man for his actions.
The idea that journalists have an obligation to remain neutral regarding a conflict between a totalitarian regime, and a republic which largely guarantees liberty, is moral relativism carried to it's most noxious level.
