Let's Force the Forger into the Open

We, the people, the "guys in pajamas" can force the Rathergate forger into the open--if we only have the will to try.

We can start a campaign that focuses on the two media outlets--ABC and USA Today--who got the same information as CBS. Apparently they have come around to the view that the documents probably are bogus. Therefore any confidentiality arrangement with the source is void.

Our arguments should be the ethics rules of the Society of Professional Journalists. We can use their own rules against them.

Go to the Society of Professional Journalists http://www.spj.org/ethics_code.asp and then to their ethics page.

According to their published code of ethics, professional journalists should not only properly vet their sources, but do the following:

"Identify sources whenever feasible. The public is entitled to as much information as possible on sources' reliability.

Always question sources’ motives before promising anonymity. Clarify conditions attached to any promise made in exchange for information."

Write a letter to ABC and USA TODAY asking that they follow the above ethical rules for their profession. Remind them that these ethics require that journalists should:

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

And that they should be accountable:

"Admit mistakes and correct them promptly. Expose unethical practices of journalists and the news media.

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

I purposely did not compose a letter because I don't want everyone's letters to look alike. There are a few additional ethics guidelines that are applicable so check out the site and cut and paste to your letter.

The site also has a long list of people (with emails) to are on the Ethics Committe. They deserve a letter asking about how CBS should handle the forged documents and their provenance or source.

I haven't mentioned bloggers or other pundits in the MSM who should get copies of your letter--but that goes without saying to my fellow "guys in pajamas"

Let's Roll

[wildbill]

Use their own professional ethics against the media. CBS is a lost cause, but ABC and USA Today may be more susceptible to revealing the source.

"According to their published code of ethics, professional journalists should not only properly vet their sources, but do the following:"

Good luck, not to dampen the project, however, IMO, the only thing that will create a revolt is to see the CBS bottom line $$$$$ going down the tube.

Then again if that happens I would want to see if Drather is selling or maybe Hillry's been reading the paper again making a few bucks.

Ethics do not apply to lying crooked liberals.

Big business and ethics aren't supposed to have anything to do with one another according to free traders. When we get what they tell us it's supposed to be like, we revolt against the notion and demand ethics. Somethin ain't lining up here - can anyone help me? lol

John Kerry is not fit to be elected dog catcher let alone President of the United States.
ANYONE who votes for Kerry AFTER knowing this data

KERRY GAVE TESTIMONY BASED UPON FALSE INFORMATION
THAT KERRY KNEW AHEAD OF TIME TO BE FALSE!



September 6, 2004 -- **BREAKING** In Yesterday's Lies: Steve Pitkin and the Winter Soldiers, Scott Swett tells the story of a former VVAW member and participant in the Winter Soldier Investigation who states that John Kerry and others pressured him to give false testimony about American atrocities in Vietnam. After more than 33 years, Pitkin is the first Winter Soldier "witness" to file a legal affadavit regarding that event...

My name is Steve Pitkin, age 20, from Baltimore. I served with the 9th Division from May of '69 until I was airvaced in July of '69. I'll testify about the beating of civilians and enemy personnel, destruction of villages, indiscriminate use of artillery, the general racism and the attitude of the American GI toward the Vietnamese. I will also talk about some of the problems of the GIs toward one another and the hassle with officers.

I have never heard of this Society of Professional Journalists and know nothing about them but I suspect that they are kinda like the UN or AMA.....They do a lot of posing, posturing and talking but have no real authority to do anything or backbone.

I would think that a little bit of slack can be cut for someone who posts content from another site relavent to to current events.

Bud, I think you just stepped on my post. You've posted all this stuff before, haven't you?

You have a right to do it, I suppose, but why repeat it all in someone else's post that proposes another idea?

Personally, I think it was rude and will probably stop a lot of people from reading or participating further. Is that what you wanted to do?

Thank you very much.

Here I was defending your Inaliable Right to Post A Vanity Thread and you come after TONK? Get an education about FReeper history, wildbill, and ask your mama again about the meaning of the word RESPECT. Tonk has it bigtime; you have yet to earn it, and at this rate it'll be a long time coming.
