Thanks for your insight Jonathan. Responsibility and rights do go together, even when a society thinks that 'rights' means absence of responsibility. I wish I would have read this before I posted on my blog yesterday on a similar topic. It's at http://unqualifiedreflecting.w...

If you're interested...

Thanks again,
Kyle

Why not just tell it like it is. Rupurt Murdock finally got caught.His bully style,right wing media empire has been exposed.The US legal system should launch the investigation into phone hacking of 9/11 victims.They deserve to know if their rights were violated by Murdock subsiduarys.This is probably only the tip of the iceberg.
Are the Liberal hating rants of people like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh Christian? The Murdock empire fully supports the views of these people.
Wake up everyone.
This article candy coats a big problem.A total breakdown in the ethics of proper journalism.The "tea party" would be nowhere without Fox News.
A dictionary definition of "crocodile tears" was seeing Murdocks full page apology adds in British papers.

I have no wish for an argument. I do feel, however, that any hatred on either side is a symptom of the same problem. It is always much easier to criticise than to help. The problem is that, in the UK and US, it is easier to sell newspapers, talk shows and the like on the basis of negativity than on the basis of honour and respect.

For me, this crisis is not a time to gloat but a time to examine how much any and all of us have bought into the idea that negativity is somehow our right and that we can sit in judgement on others. After all, if I hate others for showing hatred of others, I am just the same as the people I criticise.
