Credentials don't matter in every field of study - but I bet that you would expect your doctor or lawyer to have a degree. In this case, do you believe that one layperson's opinion should be considered "a law of journalism"? If you look at the news industry, we don't see them embracing this "journalistic principle". It isn't being taught in journalism schools either.
You looking for an example of this principle being taught is like trying to find an example of order of operations taught at MIT. I don't even know what you think you're looking for.



That's just another way of you saying that you have nothing of substance to back up your statements.
With the memory issues that we have seen from you on this forum, I have to wonder if you can recall anything from high school. Your statement above that you are "pretty sure" is definitely not a solid statement that you took a journalism class in high school and that it was taught to you as a journalistic principle.
Thats definitely your opinion, and interpretation of facts. And you're entitled to it.
