Readers of 1pp, please read the following Code and ask yourself the question of whether or not you think the present SOCIALISTREAM media and press constitute a profession complying with their Constitutionally recognized 4th branch of government watch dog duties; or rather, constitute a sycophant liberal socialist democrat cabal, about the process of spoon feeding the lemming drone democrat voting food stamp members of our country.

Herewith is the Society of Professional Journalists: SPJ Code of Ethics:

"SPJ Code of Ethics:

"Preamble: Members of the Society of Professional Journalists believe that public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and foundation of democracy. The duty of the journalist is to further those ends by seeking truth and providing a fair and comprehensive account of events and issues. Conscientious journalists from all media specialties strive to serve the public with thoroughness and honesty. Professional integrity is the cornerstone of a journalist's credibility. Members of the Society share a dedication to behavior and adopt this code declare the Society's principles and standards of practice." Opinion here: the media and press wholly fail their duty by their own Society's professed measures.

"Seek Truth and Report It: Journalists should be honest, fair and courageous in gathering, reporting and interpreting information."

"Journalists should: Test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise care to avoid inadvertent error. Deliberate distortion is never permissible." ....

"Examine their own cultural values and avoid imposing those values on others." ....

"Distinguish between advocacy and news reporting. Analysis and commentary should be labeled and not misrepresent fact or context."....

"Minimize Harm: Ethical journalists treat sources, subjects and colleagues as human beings deserving of respect."

"Journalists should: Show compassion for those who may be affected adversely by news coverage..." .... (Except for Conservatives)

"Act Independently: Journalists should be free of obligation to any interest other than the public's right to know."

"Journalists should: Avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived."

Remain free of associations and activities that may compromise integrity or damage credibility." ....

"Disclose unavoidable conflicts."

"Be vigilant and courageous about holding those with power accountable."

"Deny favored treatment to advertisers and special interests and resist their pressure to influence news coverage."

"Be Accountable: Journalists are accountable to their readers, listeners, viewers and each other."

"Journalists should: Expose unethical practices of journalists and the news media."

"Abide by the same high standards to which they hold others."



Opinion here: Well there you have it, the media and press violate each of the tenets of their own professional code, each and every day. Because they are wholly miserably failing to do their constitutionally recognized duty, our country is slowly sinking into the swamp of treacherous socialist Marxist Muslim intrigue and future national bankruptcy, and we are losing our freedoms bit by bit; no less as a result of no Constitution Obama, than the media and press themselves.

The media? Fox News is part of the media. Rush Limbugh and Glenn Beck are part of the media, as is the Beltway Press, Murdock's "cabal" of numerous right wing media outlets, and many other rightist publications, radio and TV programs. Are you saying the above are dupes or actively part of the "sycophant liberal socialist democrat cabal, about the process of spoon feeding the lemming drone democrat voting food stamp members of our country"?

Quid Pro Quo, rumitoady: Not hardly!!! The post was about the main stream media and press that I call the SOCIALISTREAM media and press, brain dead. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Hannity, Levin, and others, are considered to be the "alternative media" Nor would the SOCIALISTREAM media and press ever allow said commentators to be considered part of their control of the national main stream media and press. And, even more importantly, the alternative media folks are dedicated to the truth and do not violate the Journalist Code of Ethics, but rather follow it with due diligence, unlike the SOCIALISTREAM media and press that ignore it completely with no penalty to pay as their are no sanctions for its violation, as say in the profession of law, where upon a complaint by a citizen, the complaint will be reviewed, and an attorney can be penalized, up to and including loss of his license to practice law.
You're just mentally masturbating again, as is usual for you. Obviously, the truth of the post must have hit a raw nerve, so that you felt you just had to contrive some false predicate issue in defense of the defenseless.

What about the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, just to name two? Do you think that Fox views themselves as a true news source or just an alternative to true news agencies? Are you saying that all other news agencies, publications, and programs which are not part of what you view as "alternative," such as AP, CBS, NBC, CNN, are all corrupted? The only true news coming from "alternative" agencies, i.e., right wing?

CrazyHorse Loc: Kansas

Quid Pro Quo, rumitoady: The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post are not "right-wing" news sources. The Journal is just not as bad as most. I believe Fox views itself as unique in that it at least tries to present liberal views also, and in a debate foremat. But I don't watch Fox News, and that is just my view from afar. But the AP, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSMBC, are in fact all corrupt, and do not follow the Journalist Code I quoted. And, all you have to do to come to that conclusion, if you are intellectually honest is to read the Code vis-a-vis the liberal drone drivel your hear and that that you don't hear because it is sanitized. Now that is about the best you are ever going to get from me pard, because I don't view you as having a mind capable of admitting to true facts. You exhibit you're a dedicated liberal lemming ideologue that does not reason deductively, but rather continually mentally masturbates to argue your ideologue. Wake up brain dead, our country is sinking into the swamp and you are using your efforts to defend the indefensible. Get a life or get lost.

Why did I ever expect a civil discourse? I am a Vet, volunteered out of a free college ride and deferment for the draft in 1966. Went overseas and was honorably discharged two years later. Voted independent for thirty years but having much cared for either party the last decade or so: both sides and the middle in the pocket of Big Business, and the Patriot Act was this country's death knell, a direction it seemed to already be taking with the sellout of the Right to the demands of the elite 1%: you saw what happened in 2007 with these failed policies they continue to push. I finished my bachelors and have a masters degree. I am quite a reasonable and nice, quick both to help and admit mistakes. Talk to me like a fellow citizen, I believe I've earned at least that. If that request is too much for you, then perhaps our dialogue is useless.

Quid Pro Quo, rumitoady: Now you plead the case for your reasonableness and substance, when in fact in the past you have always exhibited just another brain dead liberal lemming running his mouth. Well, fine, lets give it a try and see if there is any hope that you will in fact believe true facts and change your positions accordingly as the facts suggest. Congratulations on your degrees, but I have more and that isn't the issue, nor does it make you or me correct. It maybe just gives you the possibility to intellectually honestly accept the facts and learn something. I'm not a vet, like you, but I accomplished the structural analysis of the high density bomb rack system for the B-52 going to Vietnam up to the transverse beams in the bomb bay. So I did my part for the war. I'm a constitutional conservative, not a republican RINO, and sure as h--- not a unpatriotic brain dead liberal lemming drone following Oillegal.
Now for your statements. "the Patriot Act was this country's death knell" Not hardlly. As written by Senator Sensenbrenner -- and he cited the section of the Act on the Hannity program this last week -- the Act as he wrote it was never meant for internal surveillance as Oillegal is now conducting it, and never used by Bush in that fashion. He stated it was only meant to identify any external foreign call of a terrorist to an internal recipient. Oillegal has now massively increased the surveillance to every American in violation of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution, for his political purposes and probably has criminally transferred the data base to his market research profiling company for campaigning purposes, by which he used and was able to, in my opinion, steal the last election. 60 Million data bases out of California alone. There you have your chance pard. Depending upon my view of the substance of your response, we may or may not be able to proceed. I will not waste any time with non-substantive ripsit itsit rexit flaxit arguments, so if you truly want to discuss the issues substantively, you better take you most reasonable best shot. From what I've seen in the past, I don't have any great hope, but we will see.

After all the foul, mostly untrue and not backed up, crap he has put out on this thread I think you have made a very futile offer.

CrazyHorse Loc: Kansas

Quid Pro Quo, oldroy: I agree. But I gave him a chance and some rope to see if he would hang himself. :thumbup:

There is a huge difference between news and entertainment/opinion shows. There are many entertainment/opinion programs (usually considered conservative) because they are successful. Not many people watch the liberal/progressive entertainment/opinion programs probably because the socialstream so-called news shows spout the same stuff. It's very difficult to differentiate between entertainment/opinion programs and so-called mainstream news programs, because the "news" programs are so obviously slanted left/liberal/progressive.

"I'm not a vet, like you" says it all. You're a civilian, not a citizen, so close the pie hole. What HAVE they done to the water in Kansas?

TheCracker

Well snail. I; for one, am a vet. Without a doubt I have many more "DS awards/medals" and MOS qualifications than you, So stuff it up your DD214. twot.

So tell us stupid. "What" has "Who" done to "what" water in Kansas?

Ps. You "snail" are leaving a stream of stinking slime behind your tail again.

CrazyHorse Loc: Kansas

Quid Pro Quo, snailseeker: You improperly cut off your quote of the sentence without showing you cut it off. The statement was, brain dead: "I'm not a vet, like you, but I accomplished the structural analysis of the high density bomb rack system for the B-52 going to Vietnam up to the transverse beams in the bomb bay. So I did my part for the war." Evidently the government thought I was making a significant contribution to the war effort, as they deferred my 1A status to a critical skills deferment, and I worked on the B-52 High Density bomb rack system for Vietnam that the government wanted forthwith, 68 hours a week, 10 hours a day 6 days a week, and only 8 hours on Sunday, for a period of some 6 + months straight, to get the system to Vietnam. And, subsequently worked on other military projects. So snail darter, get off your high horse, you little twerp, as I am confident you've done nothing for your country except run your sycophant lemming mouth. Nor have you done anything on this site, but you come on the site bleeding for a scab.

Navysnipe Loc: Old West

How many of the above mentioned news organizations were invited to the president's secret off-the-record meeting last week? Only the state run media organizations were invited. Am I the only one who sees something fishy going on?

CrazyHorse Loc: Kansas

Quid Pro Quo, Navysnipe: Nope. I've been posting about it. H---, most Americans with just a tad of common sense distrust the SOCIALISTREAM media and press.
