Should congress launch a formal investigation into the piss poor and blatent failure of ethical responsibilty by the media in regards to the AZ tragedy?

And/or should they investigate the sheriff for his sophomoric abuse of office or at least an investigation into whether he violated his oath of office by his selfish politcal stunt?

What say you?

No they other matters to attend to,Arizona's law enforcement and the FBI can do all that is needed.
 
On Saturday, January 8 in Tucson, Arizona, a man shot Gabrielle Giffords, a woman who is an executive member of a well known, brutal organization that is ostentatiously headquartered in a large number of lavish facilities in Washington, D.C. This organization is so large and pervasive that it systematically steals vast amounts of money from millions of people; rewards its servants and allies handsomely; regularly engages in turf wars with other vicious agencies and kills tens of thousands of innocent people in the process (collateral damage); forces some people to surrender honestly earned income to other people; dictates the kinds of foods, beverages, and drugs that peaceful people can ingest; forces people to “purchase” unwanted and wanted “services” from monopoly providers against their will; runs dozens of prison camps where people are incarcerated for engaging in peaceful behaviors that are forbidden to all but members of the gang; dictates where and when people can conduct business to feed their families; forces people to surrender their children to institutions where these children learn to obey members of the gang and also may learn some valuable skills (not very well) to make them capable of generating more wealth for the violent organization; has spawned the growth of many smaller criminal drug gangs in urban and suburban areas by making substances illegal (again creating innocent victims of those living near turf battles); and regularly engages in the systematic kidnapping, torture, secret renditioning, and targeted assassination of people worldwide.

The man who shot Gabrielle Giffords did not say if he was responding to any or all of the reprehensible practices of Ms. Giffords’ gang when he shot her. It now appears that he may have been mentally unbalanced or have felt he had another reason to act as he did. He also shot a decision-making arbitrator (or “judge”) that is employed in a related offshoot-gang of Ms. Giffords’ organization as well as an assistant of Ms. Giffords. Furthermore, he shot a number of innocent passersby – victims that would normally be labeled as “collateral damage” if the perpetrator of the shooting had been an authorized member of Ms. Giffords’ gang. These victims have not been discussed nearly as much in the state-controlled press, which serves its masters faithfully. In addition, since Ms. Gifford’s gang is in the habit of imposing a special category of more severe “federal” penalties for actions taken against its privileged members – as opposed to actions taken against the lower-status non-members – the shooter will pay a heavier price for having harmed Ms. Giffords than he will for having harmed the civilian subjects of these rulers.

Now I think the media coverage can be very biased on both sides, however they're protected under the constitution. It's unconstitutional to go after members of the media for what they report (no matter how idiotic it may be). Period.
 
It would be nice is they could have some repercussins for reporting falsehoods though

Ideally it would be very nice, but it's opening up a can of worms-how would you proved that they intentionally reported false news? The intent would be extremely hard to determine. That along with as I mentioned before they're protected by the 1 amendment.
 
That was the genius of the fairness doctorine.

All it entailed was that if someone requested to give a rebuttal to something a station said that person would be given a momment to present facts if they could prove you only gave a one sided view.

While it was in practice there was no problems with it that I remember.

No...overall the media reported fairly. If you are speaking of a few pundits that made fools of themselves...it sounds as if you are for the Fairness Doctrine. Watch out FOX!

As for the sheriff...he's no different than Sheriff Joe. Or many, many Republican elected officials that say idiotic things.

Great, another asshole who wants to use this an excuse to silence political opponents
 
The FBI should pull him aside and tell him to shut his mouth and they will take over the investigation. Afterall, he wasn't doing anything LE was supposed to be doing.

Great, another asshole that thinks a sitting sheriff should be engaged in politics during an investigation. Why do you label a law enforcement officer as a politician? Are you saying you would endorse every cop in this country to interject their personal political beliefs into their work? That is some scary ass shit!
And no, I don't like it when that other idiot goes on the talk show rounds either.

As far as my question about the media. I don't care, Fuck 'em. The media has finally proven itself to be dead. :doubt:
 
What does the Fairness Doctrine have to do with the coverups of the Pima County Sheriff's Department and Pima Community College, who refuse to release any records on past trouble from Jared Loughner to newspaper, the Arizona Republic?

Classic CYA.
 
I think the State of Arizona should handle it's own law enforcement issues. They have a state legislature too. Why everyone things it's the Feds who should handle every damn thing I'm not sure.

As for the repercussions for the media lying... maybe people should stop watching the media if it keeps lying to them.. *cough* *cough*.

Investigate the media for their coverage of the Arizona shooting.

Is this a serious question?
