Ethics are societal rules to break apart family bonds

It starts with family and then moves out to various subgroups and then country then humanity. Ethics is the society level of enforced behavior and it changes in different societies and it changes at different levels. It is one person's idea of how another person should live. Then they gather others and convince them. Sooner or later it becomes an enforcing arm. Journalistic ethics is something that a profession forces you to adhere to attempt to maintain respect for the profession as a whole. That profession is gone. Fox destroyed it, Fox imitators are raking over the ashes, and anyone who doesn't compete at that level will get steamrolled. There's a thousand points of darkness claiming to be journalists and a few that you could actually trust to not push some agenda. I chose professional ethics over my brothers a few times and I now consider them the wrong decisions. Hell, I even fought to get one brother fired. You can only f**** the project so many times. I could have done better for him in the time frame. We finally found out that he was hiding an illness and should have been on disability and then we guided him through that. One time I expressed an opinion to the board of directors of the company that the project my other brother was running and that I was working on would not succeed. I was very sure it would not succeed, but it was an opinion, it might have succeeded. But I spoke truth to power, knowing fully well that we would all be fired in a day or so because of what I said. It was my responsibility, or so I thought. In this case I don't know that Cuomo even broke any journalistic ethics rules. Do you see any information that he presented that skewed in any dramatic fashion unexpectedly? Do you know of any lies he told you other than he wasn't helping his brother because it's none of your goddamn business. Do you expect truth at all times from him? Do you expect it from anyone other than close loved ones? He is a talking head. He has opinions and he gets to say his opinions. That's what his show was. But he sure as hell doesn't lie like Tucker Carlson. Behind the scenes he pulled levers. But did that actually affect his journalistic integrity that he doesn't claim to have since he's in opinion spouter? I fully support the brother taking care of the brother when he can. He's got f* you money in the bank, at least he should by now. Take a chance and get fired, who cares. Edited by crazy Dec. 7, 2021, 09:33:11 AM EST Expand All History

ABC News: CNN fires Chris Cuomo for helping brother deal with scandal CNN had to dump him. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

You've got Box who hates Cuomo and calls him Fredo, as if he's the non-accomplished worthless little brother being taken care of by his elder brother. Graduated law school and then decided to do something else. And did it well. Box discounts the reality of what Cuomo says. And now he's got a hook of why he can say he'll never have to listen to him again. CNN had those apples commercials. This is an apple. No matter what someone tells you it it's still an apple. Do they still run those? I haven't had CNN in about a year. It was the only thing that I was willing to find a service to pay for but then that service screwed me and CNN won't let me subscribe to it directly. I used to do my errands around the house while CNN was paused. Then I would take a break, fast forward the commercials, get the news I wanted while fast forwarding past any b***** I didn't, and then I'd cycle through again and do some errands. At that point I had enough information starters to go Google. I tried to do that with Fox just to see. Holy f** s. What an insane waste of spouting b**** 90% of the time, and even when it is just the facts, it's always to scare the s* out of someone. Their personalities are usually better looking at least.

Post #440,515 by Another Scott 12/10/21 6:28:27 PM 12/10/21 9:43:01 PM Reply	It's an insult of one's mother. Yeah, people don't think about it that way much any more, I don't think, and female dogs are only called "bitch" at fancy dog shows these days, but that's what it means. Similarly, "your mother wears Army boots" is an insult to your mother (implying she's really a man or something). "You take that back! My mother is a saint!!" followed by fisticuffs. A lot of these insults are from an earlier, simpler time... HTH!! [eta:] The obvious counterpoint indicating the change in meaning over time is Nazar[e]th's "Hair of the Dog" (4:09) Cheers, Scott.

Post #440,524 by crazy 12/11/21 2:01:17 AM 12/11/21 2:03:32 AM Reply	Nah, son of a b** is an insult to the mother And when someone told me that I agreed with them. Really f* up their ability to insult me that way. It's the Madonna syndrome. Some idiots think their mothers are saints and flip out when they get insulted. Which is the point when insulting someone. The whole point is to get them mentally lost and then go for the physical attack if required. But it's better if you could just do it to their brain. And you can see I gave box an out. All those insults are erased if he takes door number two. And he took it as expected. Which is perfectly fine with me. I don't think he's the level of a** he tries to pretend to be. I really like him. But occasionally he can be an a****. Which I will call him on. Edited by crazy Dec. 11, 2021, 02:03:32 AM EST Expand All History
