BOSTON GLOBE CONFLICT OF INTEREST BUMP!

[gramho12]

Thanks for the info. I have e-mailed a friendly message (ha!) to the Boston Grope and also have sent a donation to the Swift Vets.

I should not be surprised by this hypocrisy of the left, but some days I think, even with alternative media, that we are totally losing this war of information.

Here is the reporter who wrote this story and the book in a clear violation of ethics.

Kranish, Michael
Washington Bureau / News
(202) 857-5119
m_kranish@globe.com

This is a clear violation of the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics:

"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. Refuse gifts, favors, fees, free travel and special treatment, and shun secondary employment, political involvement, public office and service in community organizations if they compromise journalistic integrity. 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 wary of sources offering information for favors or money; avoid bidding for news."

Kranish is outrageous.....he violated lots of these just by writing the book.

I thought Rush said Krainish wrote the entire campaign book. Was it just the forward?

I live just outside Toledo and this Globe article managed to scare the local ABC station here, WTVG. THEY CAVED IN TO THE KERRY CAMPAIGN AND ARE REFUSING TO AIR THE TV AD, PER DRUDGE.

Being that Ohio is CRUCIAL to Bush in November, does anyone in Toledo or near Toledo wish to get together in front of the station on Dorr St, to show dissatisfaction with their decision to NOT air the Swift Boat ad?

WTVG TOLEDO
4247 Dorr St

Here's my email:

"(Title) Conflict of Interest Outrageous - Fire Kranish and Throw his Editor Out with Him

So your rag is Kerry/Edwards PR headquarters, eh?

I knew the mainstream media is corrupted. Have known it for a long time. You just cinched it for the rest of the country."

I didn't feel the usual need to be courteous with these bums (like I usually am, heheh).
