All Mainstream Media are the David Duke Hate Speech Propaganda Outlet, Except One. All Are Unethical, Violating the Journalism Code of Ethics.



David Duke, Head of the KKK, hates Jews and blacks. His web site is not a collection of rants, nor of wild conspiracy theories. David Duke collects news stories and academic articles, even from Israeli journals. They all make Jews and blacks look really bad.
They also violate the Exception Fallacy. The Exception Fallacy is lying by omission, and false propaganda, even if the cited facts are true. For example, there may have been a Jew or two in Stalin's killing machine, according to Israeli scholarship. He is trying to make the point that Jews are mass murderers. David Duke is an advocate. He will never acknowledge the Exception Fallacy, nor provide the other side of the story.
As far as I can find, in viewing all mainstream media, except for one lone exception, it is welcome to the David Duke website. All articles and stories are being selected to make a partisan advocacy point. In violation of the journalism Code of Ethics, the other side of the story is not presented at all, or is very skimpily covered. The sole exception I have seen is C-SPAN. This is the cable industry funded network presenting Congressional meetings. its chief, Charles Lamb, explicitly said, they count stories to make sure an even number is presented.
The New York Times is to Donald Trump and the Republican Party what the David Duke website is to Jews and Blacks. And Fox is the same to the Democratic Party. These media are expressing the hostility to Trump of their billionaire owners. MSNBC is owned by Bill Gates. The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos. The New York Times is owned by a Mexican cement billionaire.
The public wants straight news, pointing out the Exception Fallacy and presenting the other side of the story. As a result of their frustration in not finding such, they are doing this to the media.

This is a Biased, Unprofessional, and Unethical Journalist

Here.

It is part of the journalism Code of Ethics to not be biased, and to present two sides of a story.

I have proposed that the press be liable for violating its own Code of Ethics.

Revising Legal Standards for Defamation in Journalism

Libel laws should be changed. There should be tort liability of news organizations if they violate their own Code of Ethics. One of the most important is to provide two sides of the story. Such a new standard would imply, the profession is regulating itself, and not the government, perhaps in violation of the Freedom of the Press Clause.

Once any violation is proven, the liability should be automatic. The sole dispute in court should be about the value of the damages. The actual malice standard of the NY Times case should result in exemplary damages (triple actual damages). To deter.

This would be an elegant way to redefine defamation, to deter fake news, and to compensate the victims of journalism.
