Every news reporter, journalists, author, or radio host must be always thinking is this ethical? Even though this thought goes through their minds constantly it doesn’t always end up being completely ethical. While doing research on Lou Dobbs, a former conservative worker of CNN, and Rachel Maddow, a current liberal host for MSNBC, I found out that these two people are willing to speak their opinions on every issue. In an article from The Nation, Lou Dobbs is referred to as a hypocrite and unethical man. Many people state that he is a hypocrite because he bashes on illegal immigrants by making fun of their race, and having angry rants about them on air. This violates the Golden Rule: do not do to others what you would not want done to you.

Not only was he two faced on illegal immigrants but now on outsourcing! It seems to be ethical to post the names of companies that outsource to lower labor rate by doing this American’s don’t have jobs like they should. Fackler states that news reporters have a duty to serve our society and I think that part of it is letting people know what American businesses are doing. Also, Steel recommends asking the question is this for educational purposes? And yes people should be able to get educated on this topic. Outsourcing is something a business can’t hide so why not make it easy for people to find this stuff out instead of trying to hide it. But on the flip side, if Dobbs wants people to believe him and not always accuse him of an unethical scandal he must follow through with what he states he believes. After his big articles and talk shows about outsourcing, Dobbs puts out a list of companies that he recommends and most of them were on the outsourcing sheet. The Categorical Imperative means that if it is wrong one time it should be wrong every time. This is the biggest thing that is unethical about Dobbs it is wrong when one person does it, or believes it, but when Dobbs does it everything is “okay”. It is NOT …show more content…
“Rachel Meddow Hits a Brick Wall with Ethics” this title came across many televisions, MSN, and other news websites. Rachel Meddow violated the freedom of press on a report about Donald Trump. Somehow Meddow got a hold of Trump’s 2005 tax returns from there she released them to the media. No, it isn’t illegal for the media to release them, but it is so unethical. It also breaks Trump’s First Amendment protection. Once again this is a story reporter not thinking of the full consequences. Meddow is a liberal person, so all she was think was a way to destroy Trump. But in the end, this had no major effect for him in his election because the IRS stated he didn’t do anything wrong in his taxes. Meddow and David Johnson, a democratic reporter, wrote many of new articles are how President Donald Trump should be disqualified. Meddow should have looked into the technique the Golden Mean a little bit in my opinion. If she found it okay in her mind set to release the tax information release them, even though me and many other people think it is unethical. But, she defiantly shouldn’t have bashed him or tried to get him disqualified after the IRS said there was nothing
