Maybe that explains Associated Press's problem with spinning the news. (A.P.'s real name should be "Activists' Propaganda")
27% of journalism students cheat, and they cheat more than business majors.
"business students didn't rank as the worst cheaters. That distinction belonged (ahem) to journalism majors, 27% of whom said they cribbed answers. The most honest group? Those in the sciences, where 19% reported cheating on tests. The results come from surveys conducted over the past three years by Donald McCabe, a management professor at Rutgers Business School and founder of CAI."

Molly Ivins said journalism students USED to be truth seekers but in today's media they are more concerned with career enhancement.

i'm AFRAID you have been in the corporation OF LIBERALS lower back, and you SPENT too a lot TIME of their MIDST !!!!! a million. relatively, 27% cribbing to bypass, PLUS how many did no longer make it that some distance, equates to a touch large quantity. 2. the well-known American I.Q., as in different international places, are arrived via including the best 15% to the backside 15% and dividing via 2. IF that backside 15% weren't Liberals / newshounds, expert Politicians, and / or college Professors, the well-known I.Q. may be severe sufficient TO BE DISCREDITED via something of THE WORLDS knowledgeable / smart SOCIETIES !!! 3. There has continually have been given to be a reference factor for the backside appropriate wide-unfold , and newshounds & liberalism is conventional as that 'low wide-unfold'.

I have my doubts on the sciences as well. Look at what all the global-warming whores will say to keep the grant money flowing in from the likes of the heinz foundation and the UN. But yes, "journalism" is now all about spreading the leftist manifesto. true or untrue, makes no difference to them.

Because they want to be journalists and cheating is just a means to an end, they feel they have the right to cheat because they are "politically pure" and the "impure" have no rights.
But that is just what I heard from activists.
My oppinion is that they cheat because they can. It is not a profession of well respected people. Reporters only care to get the story for glory or their personal political view.

Interesting that accuracy is not valued by journalism students. It certainly doesn't seem to be valued by working journalists either.
Maybe we should hire scientists to cover the news.

Maybe they are too dumb to lie about cheating like the rest of the students?

Maybe they do not know the difference between write and wrong.
