The statement and accompanying images discuss the coordination between media and social media companies to focus on the origins of hacked materials rather than their content, particularly in the context of potential Russian interference. This raises concerns about journalistic ethics and the influence of external entities on media narratives.

1. Principle 1:

   I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

   The statement suggests potential harm by implying manipulation of media narratives, which could mislead the public. [-2]
2. Principle 2:

   I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.

   There is a potential violation of privacy and dignity if the coordination leads to biased reporting or misinformation. [-2]
3. Principle 3:

   I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

   The statement does not promote understanding or empathy, as it focuses on strategic manipulation rather than transparent reporting. [-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 does not engage in constructive criticism but rather implies a coordinated effort to control narratives, which could undermine public trust. [-2]
