My ethical dilemma for the blog is:
In the early 1970s Les Kinsolving, the religion writer for The Examiner, wrote several articles about Peoples Temple (a cult in San Francisco led by Jim Jones who later took his people to South America and made his followers drink Kool-Aide laced with cyanide resulting in the death of 900 people) prior to the mass suicide he had written several articles that went unpublished. The Examiner was censoring due to government restraints and threats from the temple. Was it ethical for The Examiner to censor in order to protect themselves rather than the people who eventually died in the cult?
Check out the published and un-published reports from Kinsolving - http://jonestownapologistsalert.blogspot.com/2007/10/les-kinsolvings-original-exposes.html

According to The Universal Journalist, a guide to reporting, “A newspaper’s role is to find out fresh information on matter of public interest and to relay it as quickly and as accurately as possible to readers in an honest and balanced way.” I do think that the examiner had ethical obligations to publish these stories due to the fact that they are important to the public. Maybe if people knew they could have found ways to prevent the Jonestown Massacre.
The examiners ethics decided not to publish the stories, and clearly their loyalties were not to their readers.
It was unethical for them to censor the articles of their religion writer. Duty to the public is probably the most important service that the press provides, and they failed in that regard. If the Jonestown cult sued them or anything, that would have generated the publicity the paper needed to inform people about this dangerous cult, and I assume the public response would be helped them in the long run.

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also [url=http://twitter.com/iuyjopg]Viagra Sales Market[/url] you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://ojagamu.freehostia.com]Viagra and Analogs[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
