If you're getting into the area to cover it, bring some damn food and water to share while you're at it. Don't just take pictures of people dying, do something to help them. These are your fellow citizens who granted you that first amendment. Journalistic ethics my ass -- what's ethical about a policy of non-involvement when fellow citizens are dying in front of your very eyes?


Here the problem with what you ask. If the media people drop their cameras and etc to help these people, they can't cover it. And then we will have no idea what's going on down there. Also it is a question of ethics once you get involved, how can you give non biased coverage? Tell me without the media covering this, do you think as many people would be giving blood and donating food, water and supplies? I doubt it. Unless there is no other way, the media should stay out of it and give non biased coverage. It is important we are able to stay informed about the situation. If however someone is going to die and there is no one else around who can help and no other way, then they should give assistance.

who cares? It was only a preseason game. Most of the starters were already out of the game before the end of the 1st quarter. Don't worry Dayv we'll be ready to kick your butt come the regular season.

Getting back to topic, if California can have a recall election on their governor, we need to start pressuring Congress to let us have a recall election on the White House.


that would take a constitutional amendment. Getting a constitutinal amendment passed is neither easy nor fast. Even if you could get it passed by the time it got on the books, Bush's term would probably be over.
