Cable news stations should not be allowed to lie in the United States

When someone turns on the news station such as Fox News or ABC news at night, they are most likely not looking for entertainment. They want to know the current events of their town, state, country, or even of the world. In the case of someone looking to watch "news" in a witty tone or more entertaining, then they should watch programs like the Colbert Report. What your not realizing though is that stations are not just misinterpreting information at times. They are deliberately skewing the news in order to make it more entertaining. Most people around the country do not fact check what these reporters are saying. People assume that the journalist who covered the story already did it them self. News channels are held accountable to stories they are reporting. Although there is no national overseer that checks the truthfulness of the channels it is still common knowledge that they are expected to do so. The problem with the system is that since most news stations are a part of a corporation they are legally allowed to lie since corporations are considered people too. For this debate I will use News Corp. and its subsidiary Fox News as a prime example of an organization that deliberately lies to the public. "In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States." How can you justify this knowing that Fox News has an average of 7.3 million viewers and are all being lied to. http://www.projectcensored.org... http://en.wikipedia.org...
Cable news stations should not be allowed to lie in the United States

A quick question worth asking yourself, would you rather hear about the kid crashing his bicycle through a fence or the brutal murder that occured during *special event name here*? Right, something news worthy ( assuming most will chose the brutal murder ). The idea of the media lying is not that they intentionally create a fallacy, more or less the media is being fed a strict, meager amount of information, leading to a lot of statements that were taken out of context by having the information misinterpreted. Definition of a lie: A statement retorted that is deliberately false. Non-truth. Due to cable stations misinterpreting information given, people percieve this misinformation as lies or fallacies. Cable stations are receiving this information and simply relaying it to inform the public. The information carriers such as reporters and/or figure feeding them this information also receive small bits of information and interpeting it to try and find the true meaning behind "statements" or "comments" given about an issue or incident. Leaving it up to the listener to determine whether they believe the information or not.
Cable news stations should not be allowed to lie in the United States

Hello everyone. This is my first debate on DDO so bear with me. I challenge you to this debate. Intro: Many news organization routinely lie or distort facts in order to gain more viewers. I argue that it should be illegal for organizations to call themselves a "news" channel if they outright lie to their viewers about the validity of the statements they are presenting. For this debate we will be using the definition of news from Merriam-Webster online dictionary: Definition of NEWS 1 a : a report of recent events b : previously unknown information c : something having a specified influence or effect 2 a : material reported in a newspaper or news periodical or on a newscast b : matter that is newsworthy 3 : newscast

You just brought back excruciating memories. As doge would say, "Wow, much pain". No as this is a debate, it pains me to do this, I must fight fire with water. Boiling Water to be exact (sad face). Barbie Girl by Aqua. If you have heard this song and were scarred for life I will not force you to watch this. If you are not in this debate, I highly suggest not to do this. Now I must tell you all I am making another one after this. If you want to battle me you can!
Physical abuse as a punishment for children

I do agree with you that no parent will want to be harm their child. I will also agree with you that my statistic is within a certain age range, yet this is a good enough statistic, because with what you said earlier, children who are in this range aren't capable or have the knowledge how to call the police or DYFUS. This contradicts what you state right now about children being abused pass that age range. Your last statement should not have mentioned this range, because children after the age of 7 can and should call the police to report abuse, if it is not being reported that in itself is a crime. The parents who do abuse the kids beyond this point, are indeed abusing their child and I will agree that this is abuse. Yet in the same respect there are parents who do not abuse their kids to this extent and that is what the study is talking about. Granted that even if the children do not call the police, most children do not feel abused in the case of spanking. Although given the statistics there is compelling evidence on your side that there is a degree of child abuse occurring that is written off as discipline. With this into consideration, I will say that this decision to spank the child is still within the parents domain of discipline, but with your evidence I would say that perhaps one should rethink the spanking and phsyical discipline, and involve more passive ways to show your child what is wrong and what isn't.

But yes like i said before, alittle smack on the butt is usually done with more force intented. So even though you have the intent to smack light, most likely it will come out harder. You statistic is for only ages 2-6, which is a small range, we are talking about all children from birth to 18 years of age. So that statistics i have go from the age their born until the age their an adult, so they cover more than your statistic. Your opinion about being spanked is only for you, but in general from studies done most child fall into depression, anxiety, and start to feel worthless because of the beatings. The main thing is people cant control how much force they are usuing and on top of it they more they do it they worse the beatens get. Furthermore, it doesnt matter if it is a pat on the butt or a hard smack, it still damages the child psychologically which makes them into anti-social criminals, also have an 80% chance of having a psycological disorder. There are plenty of proof and statistic that show that hitting your child is wrong and does damage. There is also statistics stated above that is also causing psycological damage to the paprent. These statistics doesnt say that the child was beaten, they just say that the child was hit when they were young, so it doesnt matter if it is a light pat, it causes harm. And any parent shouldnt want to harm or hurt their child, i know i wouldnt.

The goal here is to do just that, spank them gently on the butt. You are not supposed to go overboard, in that case this is indeed child abuse. But what I am trying to relate to you is that a gentle pat on the back side is all you need, most parents are good at doing this. And let me go back to an earlier post that you made about your statistics and what percantage who were beat ended up doing criminal activities. With the study I posted above, it is completely feasiable that the children who were beat were abused in such a way that it was not discipline. One can also say that even with the taking away of toys and objects that the child may still end up going down the wrong path. And let me refer you back to my very first post, where I did tell you I was spanked myself, I did not feel angry or sad, I felt as though I shouldn't have been spanked yet it was due to me doing something wrong. I did not repeat this action again, due to the spanking that would ensue. It worked on me and that was good enough for me to stop doing the wrong things. It was a gentle pat and it was deserved in my case, and there are many cases where children are getting just gentle pats as opposed to out right abuse.
Physical abuse as a punishment for children

Even though there is a statistic, that is only 1 statistic. There are so many other statistics out there on what abuse from punishment does to children. Spanking doesnt make a child happy, it makes them aggressive and anti-social. There is no way spanking can make a child happy, personally if some spanked me i would be very angry and feel very violated! On top of things they are talking about a little pat on a butt, but even that most of the time parents hit with more force than they wanted to. When they hit with more force, they do more harm and injury to the child. So if people think a little pat on the butt is good, and it is bad to beat you child where do we draw the line in the middle? You really cant, because again everyone has their own judgement on how much force they use and sometimes they want to hit with this amount of force but end up hitting with more force intented. So in the end, a pat on the butt or a real hard beaten they are both wrong because they do lead to physical harm and psycological damage.
Physical abuse as a punishment for children

According to Calvin College psychology professor Dr. Marjorie Gunnoe, spanking children under the age of 6 can make them happier and more successful later in life. http://theweek.com... . This article clearly states that spanking your child is not as bad as what people make it seem to be. In the article, it states," Gunnoe questioned 2,600 people, a quarter of whom had never been spanked, about everything from academic success to their optimism about the future and found that those who had been disciplined with spanking between the ages of 2 and 6 faired best in all categories". That is to say that spanking given limitations isn't a bad thing. It does teach the child how to properly act in society as well as instills certain rules in your child and values. That is the values to do right and what right is. If the child acts accordingly then they will not be spanked. The spanking sets boundaries in reality as to what can be done and what shouldn't be done. Parents have been saying this for years now and finally there is a study to show that some sort of spanking and discipline is required to aid your child's development. I'm not trying to advocate blaytant child abuse, but a little spanking here and there should be acceptable. It wouldn't be considered as abuse if you send your child to "time out" and out right ignore them, even to the point where some children urinate on themselves. How can you say that this itself is not abuse? Simply because there are no visible marks does not mean there are no emotional ones. This is more abuse then actually spanking your child, some parents will even admit to ignoring their children while in "time out". So would it not be better to spank the child and explain to them why they got spanked? It shows them the reason as to what is being done to them, and also that you do care enough to explain what they did wrong to deserve it. Atleast in the latter case you will not be ignoring their phsyical needs.
Physical abuse as a punishment for children

Hitting your child doesnt teach them to not do it again, it plainly teaches them that kind of behavior is acceptable for wrongdoing. Discipiline is a must for child to learn, but hitting or spanking a child doesnt fall under discipline, it falls under child abuse. Even though spanking was done years ago by our grandparents, that doesnt mean it is right to do..Spanking a child even alittle over and over again as time passes will of course effect the child emotionally and physically if persistent. And when children are beaten to learn a lesson, the only thing they learn is that behavior is acceptable and then they tend to beat their child when they are older. It is called the circle of abuse. "About 30% of abused and neglected children will later abuse their own children, continuing the horrible cycle of abuse."( http://www.childhelp.org...) This goes to show that hitting a child leads to different sorts of emotional and physical damage, which causes a cycle of abuse. In addition, time out is not the only way to punish a child, there are many other non-abusive ways to punish a child instead of hitting, such as taking away cellphone, computer, no going outside, etc. So if time out doesnt work than there are other back-ups to punish a child, there is no need for physical punishment. By hitting a child, it just makes them angry and emotionally disturbed, it doesnt teach them not to do it again. Also hitting your child as a parent, you're taking advantage of them being young and defenseless and they cant retailate back at you which is unfair. People tend to forget children are young and they will make mistakes, but by hitting them they are not helping the child to understand what they did wrong, it just teaches them that hitting is acceptable for bad behavior. By teaching the child that hitting is acceptable, they will go through life thinking it is okay to hit others for behavior they dont accept. Teaching your child that, it is not good parenting skills, you're suppose to teach your children right not wrong, and by hitting them you contradict what your goal is.
