Has there ever been morals in the media?
For the most part, yes. Prior to WW2 the media was generally patriotic to their country of origin and they generally avoided publishing things like the story in question.
Of course, the difference is that prior to WW2 we had no 'journalists' we just had
reporters and 'reporter' was a blue collar job at the same social level as ironworker, dockworker, and etc.
Now reporters have changed from blue collar everymen to elite, college educated journalists and they pretend to be the elite of society who no longer are satisfied to report the news, no, they filter it, parse it, shape it, and change it about to fit the 'social change agenda' they favor.
Consequently, you see people getting more and more news from the internet and less and less news from the newspapers and traditional media sources. I forget the name of the site, but there's already a news website that takes its news directly from who ever sends it in as a formalization of the replacement of the dinosaur media with something entirely new.
But will this new media be any more or less moral than the 'journalists'?
That's a good question.
In a society that has made a sport of renounicing morality as 'old fashioned' I have little expectation of finding any morality anywhere anymore and I laugh at people who complain about the lack of morals on one topic while denouncing morals in another.
