Stitcher Alexylva Paradox Low-Class 4018	Posted - 2014.09.11 13:55:00 - [1] - Quote Attention-seeker though he might be, his preferred method of seeking attention is to painfully massacre people by the score; An approach which renders it sadly immoral to deploy the standard response to attention-seekers which would be to ignore them. Meaning that he's either exactly as insane as he appears to be but his motives are at least honest (though sickening), or even worse he's exactly that insane AND both cynical and desperate enough to behave like this because he knows it will attract the attention he compulsively craves. The only appropriate solution would be to kill him, but given his status as a capsuleer that's the next best thing to impossible. It's all deeply irritating, isn't it?

Stitcher Alexylva Paradox Low-Class 4022	Posted - 2014.09.15 14:39:00 - [3] - Quote Nicoletta Mithra wrote: The journalists highest principle and his utmost dedication should be to truth. + 'Journalistic objectivity' [...] distracts us from attaining a deeper understanding of what is true and what is false, especially in respect to morals and ethics. There is no such thing as objective moral truth. Which means that if a journalist's first duty is to "the truth", then it follows that their duty to morality and ethics will, at best, be secondary. Now for my part, I don't actually believe that a journalist's duty IS to the truth. If that were the case, they'd be scientists. A journalist's job is to attract readers. A journalist's job is to keep those readers feeling like they're informed about what's going on in the universe. A journalist's job is showbusiness, to narrate the great soap-opera drama that is the real world. Spin is inevitable, objectivity is the attractive lie that news outlets tell their viewers to keep them loyal. There is no such thing as a truly unbiased news outlet - there never has been, and there never will be. Of course, the most convincing lies are those that the lie-teller is themselves convinced of, so I wouldn't be surprised if your average journalist was outraged at my impugning their honesty.

I'll stop there in quoting you: You have no proof for this. Tell you what, you provide me with any objective evidence to suggest that there is such a thing as objective morality (bearing in mind what the word "objective" means) and I will consider altering my stance. Until such time, for the purposes of the point I was trying to make, the difference between "there is no such thing" and "I do not believe there is such a thing" is, while the latter may be the more intellectually honest statement, an academic one. It was a statement of opinion, not a statement of fact, even if I phrased it for terse effect rather than for precision. I consider duty, by the way, to be equally subjective.

Which is my definition for whether or not something is subject to discussions of whether it is objectively true. We seem to be on the same page.
