"Was this article insensitive to those struck by grief at the airline accident? If so, then so it goes." ...what audacity....!!!!

Again clarity into who you really are abounds. Below is the code real journalists are to aspire to. See if they measure up. Again these are not threats just promises to continue to put on notice your office. Thank you again for reiterating you refuse to apologize to the families who lost their loved ones. I am quite in control of my emotions as I am sure the rest are as well it appears from your writings sir you are not. Is is not possible for you to have dialog that does not contain vulgarity? Your ignorance of the law is also evident.

The following is what a real Journalist should aspire to. What a sad case that the very corner stones of the sacred code has been tossed to the side. Please take special note of how vital compassion, sensitivity, good taste, without arrogance is paramount.

Preamble of the Society of Professional Journalist

Members of the Society of Professional Journalists believe that public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy. The duty of the journalist is to further those ends by seeking truth and providing a fair and comprehensive account of events and issues. Conscientious journalists from all media and specialties strive to serve the public with thoroughness and honesty. Professional integrity is the cornerstone of a journalist's credibility. Members of the Society share a dedication to ethical behavior and adopt this code to declare the Society's principles and standards of practice.

The Society of Professional Journalists' code of ethics offers the following advice, which is representative of the practical ideals of most professional journalists. Quoting directly:[5]

• Show compassion for those who may be affected adversely by news coverage. Use special sensitivity when dealing with children and inexperienced sources or subjects.
• Be sensitive when seeking or using interviews or photographs of those affected by tragedy or grief.
• Recognize that gathering and reporting information may cause harm or discomfort. Pursuit of the news is not a license for arrogance.
• Recognize that private people have a greater right to control information about themselves than do public officials and others who seek power, influence or attention. Only an overriding public need can justify intrusion into anyone's privacy.
• Show good taste. Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity.
• Be cautious about identifying juvenile suspects or victims of sex crimes.
• Be judicious about naming criminal suspects before the formal filing of charges.
• Balance a criminal suspect's fair trial rights with the public's right to be informed.

Be Accountable

Journalists are accountable to their readers, listeners, viewers and each other.

Journalists should:

— Clarify and explain news coverage and invite dialogue with the public over journalistic conduct.
— Encourage the public to voice grievances against the news media.
— Admit mistakes and correct them promptly.
— Expose unethical practices of journalists and the news media.
— Abide by the same high standards to which they hold others.

That about says it all………..
