Ethics Post #7

It's impossible for news to be impartial now. Example? Turn to Fox News. Fox News is known for its more conservative views. As such, it can generally post positive feedback about the Iraqi War. Whereas CNN has a more liberal slant, they'll be more inclined to discuss President Bush's low approval rating, or emphasize the deaths in Iraq.

Of course, the approaches of these differing websites is two-fold. It's meant to provide some sort of semblance of "news" and to incite debate. A conservative can agree with the general gist of a liberal news piece, but will disagree at its presentation and its innate opinion.

In the end, while journalists post up their code of ethics, they don't always follow their own set of code. It's human nature, they're going to use whatever platform they stand on to promote what they believe.
