FOX IN THE HEN HOUSE
National Public Radio operates under a wide-ranging ethics code that leaves little doubt about how its journalists should conduct themselves. This ethics code, written "to protect the credibility of NPR's programming by ensuring high standards of honesty, integrity, impartiality and staff conduct." And yet still, NPR finds itself struggling with the evergreen controversy that surrounds two of its well-known voices who regularly appear as commentators on Fox News, an organization that makes a mockery of ethical standards, a cable outlet whose employees would be summarily fired from NPR for the seemingly countless and chronic journalism transgressions they make.
