    Paul Daniel Ash: How does it fill to be lied to by the media?

    Paul Daniel Ash said:

    “When you have to lie about what somebody did, even somebody you hate - especially somebody you hate - it's got to feel pretty nasty. What's that like for you?”

    The ethics in journalism went the same way as respect for life went, down the toilet.

    Do you consider this article as ethical? Why the interviewer did not ask about the bomb destined to kill the soldiers and their dates in the attack they were planning when the bomb exploded?
