Rupert Murdoch, media mogul extraordinaire, tells us he is sorry for the wrongdoings of his companies that have been exposed recently. The allegations are that the tabloid authorized the hacking of cellphones belonging to celebrities, politicians and the families of slain schoolgirls and fallen soldiers in its relentless pursuit of scoops. Police say that up to 4,000 people may have been targeted.
Whom does Rupert Murdoch think he is kidding?
Sadly this story is only unusual by it´s enormity and the fact that this time the editors and journalists themselves are in the searchlights. It is not unusual for modern journalists to tamper with and interfere with police investigations or to disregard all human dignity.
I would like to emphasize that I do support investigative journalism wholeheartedly when it is directed towards the movers and shakers of the world, but not when it focuses on the victims, the innocent and the meaningless bystanders. My problem with this occurs when journalists start to create or mould the stories instead of covering or exposing them.
Wherein this avatar's fates, adventures and experiences in, his thoughts and feelings about and his reactions to his first and second life are depicted with written messages, images and other audiovisual tools.
I am Bock in SecondLife and Bock is I in first life. We share thoughts, opinions, feelings, actions and reactions. We are one and the same and inseparable. On this blog I choose to share both my realities.
