Эта история напомнила мне скандал с

Эта история напомнила мне скандал с Джанет Кук, который разразился в 1981 г. Журналистка получила Пулитцеровскую премию за свой репортаж о Джимми, восьмилетнем наркомане, живущем в негритянском квартале, - вот только вся эта история была ею выдумана с начала и до конца. Кук лишили премии и выгнали из газеты "Вашингтон пост". Ее выдумка была очень близка к реальности гетто, она никому не причинила вреда, и, несмотря на это, она стала символом "плохой" журналистики.

Почему я вспомнил эту историю? Лишь потому, что в очередной раз простительный грех журналистов был раздут до вселенских масштабов, тогда как виновные в действительно смертных грехах остаются безнаказанными. "Ньюсуик" пригвоздили к позорному столбу за то, что журнал породил антиамериканские настроения - всего лишь новостью в несколько строк. Но кто же судьи? А ими были как раз те самые политики, которые безо всякого стыда лгали, чтобы начать чудовищную войну в Ираке, уже унесшую тысячи жизней!

Второй скандал, потрясший недавно мир американских масс-медиа, вообще высосан из пальца. Два "желтых" таблоида, принадлежащих Руперту Мердоку, подверглись нападкам за то, что опубликовали фото Саддама Хусейна в исподнем. Почему кого-то должны волновать чувства свергнутого тирана? Однако главное не в этом. И лондонская "Сан", и нью-йоркская "Пост" - это, строго говоря, не газеты, а развлекательное чтиво, иногда выполняющее функции пропагандистской машины. Само понятие этичности для них чуждо. Их нужно просто не замечать.

Основная функция прессы в условиях демократии состоит в том, чтобы выявлять злоупотребления властью со стороны правительства. Из-за шока, наступившего после трагедии 11 сентября, из-за близорукого патриотизма, давления со стороны консерваторов, стремления угодить большинству и - самое главное - из-за желания удовлетворить запросы алчных акционеров большинство американских СМИ перестали быть "четвертой властью".

This story reminded me of Janet Cooke scandal, which erupted in 1981 g. Journalist received a Pulitzer Prize for his reportage about Jimmy, a druggie, eight lives in the Negro quarter is just all this history it has made from the beginning to the end. Cook was deprived of the prize and kicked out of the newspaper "Washington Post". Its invention was very close to the reality of the ghetto, it no harm, and, despite this, it has become a symbol of bad journalism. Why I remembered this story? Just because once again forgivable sin of journalists was blown out of proportion to the Ecumenical scope, whereas the perpetrators really deadly sins go unpunished. Newsweek nailed to the pillory for that magazine spawned anti-American sentiment-only news in a few lines. But who are the judges? And they had those very politicians who without shame lied to start a terrible war in Iraq, already causing thousands of lives!The second scandal, which shook the world recently American mass media generally gets sucked from the finger. Two "yellow" tabloid, owned by Rupert Murdoch, had been attacked for having published a photo of Saddam Hussein in the ispodnem. Why does someone have to excite feelings of the deposed tyrant? But the main thing is not that. And the London Sun ", and" New York Post "is not, strictly speaking, a newspaper, and entertaining fiction, sometimes performing the functions of the propaganda machine. The very concept of ethics is alien to them. They need to just ignore. The main function of the press in a democracy is to identify abuse of power by the Government. Due to the shock following the September 11 tragedy, because of the myopic patriotism, pressure from the Conservatives, the desire to please the most and-most importantly-from a desire to satisfy greedy shareholders most American MEDIA ceased to be the "fourth power".

Cook stripped of awards and was kicked out of the newspaper "Washington Post".

Just because again venial sin journalists was inflated to the scale of the universe, while the truly guilty of mortal sin go unpunished. "Newsweek" pilloried for what the magazine has spawned anti-American sentiment - the news just a few lines. But who are the judges?
