A journalist, or a politician?

I have never been in rallies or in demonstrations against the government held in my country although I have always supported the democratic wing and strongly against the policy of the ruling party.

But you can see a lot of journalists from the pro-opposition newspapers being active in the demonstrations against the government.

I can understand a journalist’s desire to take part in the democratization process of the country, unless this participation does not shadow his/her credibility.

I personally can not trust on the objectivity of the political analyses written by the journalist who obviously supports an opposition leader in demonstrations. I am not sure that he does not have personal interest to get a good position in the government if the opposition party comes to the power.

My conclusion is that as the textbook says a journalist should always behave trying not to shadow his/her credibility, objectivity.
