Whatever they say, it doesn’t change the fact that @briebriejoy has now made nine serious factual errors about me on air and twice refused to answer letters proposing a resolution with quiet corrections. Total lack of basic ethics and professional courtesy.

@MikeK_LA @mtaibbi I don’t agree with everything, but BJG and Zaid make some good points here: https://www.patreon.com/rss/badf…

The statement '@wtfmelle333 @briebriejoy The lack of basic ethics, errors, they’re well deserved?' is part of a larger conversation about journalistic ethics and professional conduct. It addresses public concerns about accuracy and ethics in journalism, which are significant in maintaining public trust and accountability in media. Therefore, it constitutes public discourse.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement implies criticism of perceived unethical behavior, which could be seen as an attempt to hold individuals accountable. However, the phrasing 'well deserved?' could be interpreted as somewhat antagonistic, potentially causing harm or distress. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects privacy by not disclosing personal information beyond the public figures' professional actions. It maintains a focus on public behavior related to their professional roles. [+1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement lacks a tone of empathy or compassion, focusing instead on criticism. It does not promote understanding but rather questions the ethics of the individual involved. [-1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in criticism but does so by questioning rather than outright attacking. It could foster dialogue about journalistic standards, though the confrontational tone might limit constructive engagement.
  5. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    The statement aims to use public discourse to highlight issues of ethics in journalism, which could contribute to societal betterment by promoting higher standards in media practices. [+1]
