Frank Sesno: ‘You Don’t Have To Pass a Test To Be a Journalist, Anybody Can Do That’

EXCERPT:

SESNO: "I mean, you’re talking about Don Lemon and others -- and whatever happened there, happened there, and that is something  that you should look at and it’s worthy of attention too because it’s all about accountability in the end -- but what happened at Fox is in a league of its own. You know, one of the things I would have talked about, had I testified, is I would have talked about journalistic standards. Yes, there are journalistic standards. You don’t have to pass a test to be a journalist, anybody can do that, but The Society of Professional Journalists talks about certain basic core values, practices and standards, and those are reflected in virtually every major news organization that has a standards and practices guide, CNN included. Fox doesn’t have one."
