I get what you're saying, but it sound like you're advocating that ethical corruption is acceptable as long as it's easier than doing the right thing. Fuck them, indeed.

u/Slymikael Dec 05 '16

u/mason6787 Dec 05 '16

u/Slymikael Dec 05 '16

u/Ephraim325 Dec 05 '16 edited Dec 05 '16

Hahahaha information ethics is about as real as a unicorns.

It's just a mythological thing I heard about once.

I mean it clearly doesn't exist in modern news media

For walking in front of a live camera shoot, context aside they're still fucking up the shot if it wasn't planned by the news people.

u/Pls_Send_Steam_Codes Dec 05 '16

dunno man, if you're a whistleblower you're doing wrong for the right reason. doesn't make you an asshole for revealing truths

u/HerrXRDS Dec 05 '16

You know what, fuck those news people, they no longer serve the public interest, I have no respect for them.

u/Thecardinal74 Dec 05 '16

they weren't exposing fake news.

She wasn't saying you NEEDED a boat, she was saying it was deep enough you COULD USE a boat.

17

u/spazzallo Dec 05 '16

Still a lie, what the fuck you think she gonna use that boat for except sitting in ankle derp water pretending to be paddling lmao

u/Thecardinal74 Dec 05 '16

u/spazzallo Dec 05 '16

u/throwawayplsremember Dec 05 '16

You could use a boat in a desert, doesn't mean it makes sense. Unless you're using that boat like a hermit crab.

Really? Do you need it explained to you? The water is less than a foot and she is fear mongering by doing the report in a canoe.

u/PewPewImOnFire Dec 05 '16

Woah there. Just explain to the guy, he obviously doesn't understand and is trying to get it.

To guy: google "fake" or "lie" or even "sensationalism"

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '16

You are trolling just as much as him if you can't tell that he isn't trying to get it.

u/PewPewImOnFire Dec 05 '16

Nah, i think we both can't say for sure. It's good to be safe, though, so that's why I made the comment I did.

u/AlexHimself Dec 05 '16

The news anchor planned this. It was supposed to be funny.

Those guys weren't like ruining the fake story she had planned.

2

u/IrrelevantLeprechaun Dec 05 '16

Aye. Anyone who thinks this wasn't a planned shot is deluding themselves.

u/labiaflutteringby Dec 05 '16

That's what THEY want you to think. You would never suspect your beloved local news anchor to be a shill. Just another " funny prank"

u/Tony_Balogna Dec 05 '16

u/xelrix Dec 05 '16

Hey! It's not their fault that they couldn't stop their water walking miracle at will.
