Ethics In Media and Foreign Policy

Honesty, precision, and neutrality are fundamental consideration factors for examining the American media. Deception-oriented campaigns such as Disinformation for Qaddafi involve the dissemination of misleading and incorrect information with trickery goals (Miller and Robinson, 2019). This practice is ethically erroneous since it distorts facts and undermines the ability of the public to make informed decisions. Incessantly upholding journalistic integrity, transparency, and a pledge to authenticating information are critical factors to consider when determining what is right or wrong. According to Landon-Murray et al. (2019), the Iran-Contra Affair involves the unlawful sale of weapons to Iran and the secret support of Nicaraguan Contras, which calls for the application of various ethical perspectives. One can use the principles of consequentialism, which entails positivity or negativity of conducts to evaluate the activities and outcomes of these practices. The deontological approach, which stresses adherence to moral duties and principles, demonstrates that illegally selling weapons is a covert operation without public knowledge (Fox, 2019). This practice is morally wrong since the action violates public law.
