also, 'The Media' is a fictional entity, with no morality, duty, sense, fear, love, hatred... or any other human attribute it is occasionally credited with. These things are just constructs, designed to serve the desires of the largest body of people they can, (in order, primarially, to make money) through providing 'information'. It doesn't have to be important, relevant, or even at times, true. It just has to run.
If we want to live in a Just world, then we have to set new rules for business, the media, government, financial institutions, and the populace, that have JUSTICE as their founding principles. That, of course, will have to be based on some agreed code of morality.
At the moment, there is only supply and demand governing these things.
This is the front page of the BBC News website as of 1:30pm today:
Sure; biting chunks off live animals is a terrible thing to do, but front page news on the website of the BBC?
Something is wrong.
