Journalists have a responsibility to the public that goes beyond page views. That is what makes them journalists.

If you wish to be consistent and say that the authors of the articles in virtually every blog of note are not journalists, then I will agree.

Unfortunately lots of people who have nothing resembling "journalistic integrity" make a living that way. If you're bored, you can turn on Fox News and see how quickly you can identify one.
