Journalism ethics and standards comprise principles of ethics and of good practice as applicable to the specific challenges faced by professional journalists. Historically and currently, this subset of media ethics is widely known to journalists as their professional "code of ethics" or the "canons of journalism." The basic codes and canons commonly appear in statements drafted by both professional journalism associations and individual print, broadcast, and online news organizations. wikipedia.com
Journalism ethics is in fact the "code of conduct" of professional journalists, but over the years, journalism has been extremely politicize and ethics vanishes into thin air. Sean Hannity and other journalists (conservative talk hosts) have called this 2008, the year in which Journalism is dead!
There are few instances why Journalism in US lacks anymore objectivity. There are more pro-Liberals (Democratic) news outlets than pro-Conservatives media outlets. Which explains why Sen. Obama and his running mate got away with only a slap on the wrist, but watching and attacking Sen. McCain and his running at mate everytime.
Media and Obama
The Media is infatuated with Sen. Obama's plans and economic strategies. They dare not challenge the Democratic presidential candidate even if his past; his dealings with Radical figures, and when he says incriminating stuff. Sen. Obama's past is something worth investigating but the mainstream media never seemed to be interested in the past of the man who will, if elected, become the first African American man to hold this office. They didn't want to know if Sen. Obama's relationship with the following people have something to do with is radical, anti-American views?
- Frank Davis (the radical communist Poet who advocated terrorism in US)
- Bill Ayers (A radical activist who bombed the Pentagon and police station in New York and DC area, who held a small party for Obama when he won the election for the State senate)
- Tony Rezko (A man who was arrested for federal crimes tax fraud and who sold his piece of land to Obama in order to manipulate authority over a plot of land and who have helped Obama elected as a State Senator)
- Louis Farrakahn (Leader the Islam work who is an anti-Semite and racist and who later praised Obama in a speech)
- Rev. Jeremiah Wright (A radical preacher who called those who died inside the World Trade Center-"American chicken coming home to roast!" who suggested that God shouldn't bless America but damn America).
- Rashid Kalidi (An American scholar who is an anti-American and who also was an advisor to the PLO and at one point recieved some wonderful word of commendation from Obama in a fair-well party).
- Dr. Khalid al-Mansour (Who helped raised funds to send Obama to Harvard: $42,000 USD).
Media Vs. McCain
Before McCain picked Governor Sarah Palin as his running-mate, there was a wider expectation that the Democratic nominee would chose a woman, with Sen. Clinton as the favorite, before the Democratic Convention in Colorado. Unexpectedly, Sen. Obama announced his fierced criticizer in the Democratic Primary, Sen. Joe Biden. On the contrary, the Republic party had a long list of prespective VP with former Governor of Messachussett, Mitt. Romney and former Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huccabee, but the planners and influential people like Conservative talkshow host, Rush Limbaugh and Fox News contributor and former President Clinton's advisor, Dick Morris, suggested a female pick could destroy the chances of the Democratic party. That turned out to be.
But the announcement of Governor of Alaska, Gov. Palin as the VP stormed created a tremendous media circus. The mainstream media (Liberal freaks) jumped to the conclusion that Gov. Palin is not qualify in all respects to take on a country from a frailing Sen. McCain. The attack began. The Democratic party went down to Alaska to investigate Gov. Palin's life and family. The Media wrote some nasty articles about Gov. Palin that were probed to be absolutely ridiculous and bias. Satire from various networks poke fun of Gov. Palin and even TV hosts suggested some bizzare incest in the Palin's home. These claims have been so ridiculous that Gov. Palin recieved more favorable ratings than Sen. Obama.
The mainstream media made themselves look absolutely stupid and ridiculous in their quest to destory the governor. ABC anchor, Mr. Gibson, interviewed Sarah Palin in a "gotcha ya" styleo f questioning, and was later exposed. The Govenor was asked what she felt about the Bush Doctrine, she stumbled alittle but regained her composer. The follow day, the one who coined the phrase, Bush Doctrine, Charles Krauthammer, stated that that the Bush Doctrine is infact has four dimensions which are deals with the war, the economy, international relationship, and state sponsoring or associating with Terrorist. The question was crafted carefully to trap Gov. Palin.
Bellow is a pathetic examples of Media setting out to assassinate someone.
In the first clip, Bill O'Reilly exposed the stupidity, lies, distortion of some quotes by CNN Mr. Griffin while interviewing Sarah Palin. The author of the article came forward and repudiated Mr. Griffin's that he was quoting from his article.
The second clip, Mr. Gibson asked Sarah Palin about the Bush Doctrine. That doctrine comes in four dimensions. He wanted to test Sarah Palin if she understood the Bush policy. This question distorted the reality of the Bush Doctrine.
These are classic examples of Media bias and why Conservative media called 2008, the year
when Journalism officially Died!
