		Journalistic ethics would require you to say who you are, check your facts and interpretations with multiple sources, and to give me and the other people you write about a chance to respond to your assertions.

	Media Monitor - Forbes Columnist Whitewashes CBS - February 16, 2005
		While sincere journalists were appalled over the astonishing failures of CBS News outlined in the independent panel review of the Bush National Guard document scandal, Forbes senior columnist Dan Ackman was busy scratching out a bizarre spin theory that would've delighted both Mary Mapes and The Onion¯a news-comedy website.
		Busy creating martyrs out of perpetrators, Ackman writes: "No one should hold themto the standard of the courtroom, because such a standard would be impossible to meet." He fails to tell the reader that the report repeatedly refers to not courtroom standards, but CBS News' own Standards Manual and universally accepted journalism ethics.
		If Ackman is really interested in courtroom standards, he should consider the views of legal experts who say that CBS may also have violated federal or state law by distributing and airing forged government documents.
