Moral Recklessness in Media



Ragashanti My Brother: Your talents and skills are God's gift to you. What you do with them is your gift to God. Maybe this fact was what motivated Nietzsche to reveal that...

"The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude". - Friedrich Nietzsche


But as we continue the 'trial' of Ragashanti in the Court of Public Opinion we should not forget the two more important co-conspirators in the  ‘moral recklessness’  (to quote Dr. Carolyn Cooper) that was committed on the public airways.

They are firstly the management of NewsTalk93  and secondly the advertisers. They both facilitated and profited from Raga's behaviour.  When do we start their trial?

"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" - Matt 16:26

Let's see what happens next, where will the 'moral recklessness' surface? How will the advertisers respond? My bet is as before...'

'Give us Barabas, give us Barabas'

    Two critical questions. Do you think they even see themselves as part of the decay and decadence? That's the question.

    Walk good.

    This is why I have broadened the discussion to include the other 2 other co-conspirators. Lest they think we are not seeing the big picture.
