Summary

From the stimulus, we learn that all journalists are against lying. However, journalists aren’t in total agreement about everything. Some journalists think that spoken words should always be quoted verbatim, and other journalists think that it’s fine to tighten up the wording if necessary. Also, some journalists believe that it’s lying to not identify oneself as a journalist, while others believe that it’s acceptable to do so to expose wrongdoing.

Strongly Supported Conclusions

We can infer that not all journalists agree about what counts as lying. We know this because all journalists oppose lying, but only some journalists think that tightening quotes or obscuring their status as journalists would be prohibited by that rule.
