Journalists agree universally that lying is absolutely taboo. Yet, while many reporters claim that spoken words ought to be quoted verbatim, many others believe that tightening a quote from a person who is interviewed is legitimate on grounds that the speaker' s remarks would have been more concise if the speaker had written them instead. Also, many reporters believe that, to expose wrongdoing, failing to identify oneself as a reporter is permissible, while others condemn such behavior as a type of lying. Which one of the following is most supported by the information above? ['Since lying is permissible in some situations, reporters are mistaken to think that it is absolutely taboo.', 'Reporters disagree on what sort of behavior qualifies as lying.', 'There is no correct answer to the question of whether lying in a given situation is right or wrong.', 'Omission of the truth is the same thing as lying.']
