Well yes, it's easy to see how journalists can abuse their position. It happens (just look at that bastard from the New York Times), and it usually pays off for the perpetrators (he got a frigging book deal).

However, that's why there's a rigid ethical code for journalists, and that's why any legitimate and highly though of journalist adheres to that code. While there are irresponsible individuals, that's NOT the de facto mentality, and journalists are NOT all giving the government blowjobs.

Of course, I doubt Geggy has ever interned at a newspaper, and I don't think he's even taken a serious journalism class, so I can understand why it's easy for people like him to look at the minority and use it to judge the entire profession. However, I still find the assumption blatant, greatly offensive, and woefully ignorant.
