Cats & Kings

I have just read that the cardinal premise of journalism is that "a cat may look at the king."

Would you please explain what this means? Thanks.

Thank you very much, Mr. M. Would you explain in a bit more detail how this applies to the profession of journalism, please?

Sorry, I'm just a grammarian. I know little about journalism. I suppose it means that no matter how important a person is or how sacrosanct a topic is, it is the journalist's right to examine him or it.
