I get what you may be trying to say here but I'm not exactly sure that that's what Confucius point may be saying, in Christian lore the small man or the humble man actually does look at others, the way to truth is actually outside of yourself..... A superior man or a haughty man or a prideful man will literally just look at himself and the answers don't lie there. Statistically speaking when human beings look inside themselves for answers it ends up in disaster.

I think journalism is not an inward action I think it is an outward action....... Journalists must be neutral this by definition does not allow for inward reflection. As a journalist you literally must look to others for the truth because that is where the truth lies. It just doesn't necessarily come out of their mouth or out of their words on paper, it comes from watching patterns collecting data over periods of time and allowing other people to formulate their opinions....... Journalists if they are honest cannot add their own sauce to "the sauce".
