Neither me nor the producer is saying PJ needs to stop what they're doing, but the journalistic ethics from NBC News in this case are suspect.
Silly me. And here I thought the pedophiles were the unethical ones!Axed "Dateline" producer slams popular "Predator" series as unethical

So drop the journalism facade and turn this into reality TV a la Cops. Just keep up the good work, NBC!!!
What's so sick about this whole TCAP thing is that some of these sick s actually KNOW about the show and they STILL get caught. Baffles the living outta me.
'em.
Go Chris Go!
But the problem is that if the show loses it's journalistic integrity then soon it will end up going off the air because the ratings will drop. Then the pedos will be free to roam freely again without any fear of being exposed. That's why it's important for them to be above board and ethical about everything they show.
Who expected Dateline to be ethical?
I hate to say this, but as much as I'd like to believe that's what would happen, I don't.
This subject is obviously very deep to a lot of people (and not just pretty much every parent that ever existed) and even if NBC News blatantly violated either their code or a standard (SPJ, NABJ, etc.) code of ethics and maybe even admitted to it - I believe the general public would stand by NBC's "pursuit of justice."
This is why you don't put yourself in these journalistic trials of ethics - you might be forced to go against what your ethical beliefs mean.
I do.
It's ethical violations that make people like me look bad to the general public.
I don't know why PJ is necessary to pull this stuff off.
For the next sweeps they just need to get Shaq to pose as the online kid.
Well, there's journalism class discussion unethical and general-public's-giving-a- unethical. This particular case seems like more of the former than the latter.
Exactly what I meant in the response to 2Blonde.
What is scary to me, is this is such a small sample of the general public. If this small sample is able to rake in this many people.
Imagine how much this go's on unnoticed.
My wife spent the first 4 years of her career as a sex offender treatment provider. Alot of her clients were very violent rapist and child molesters out of prison on parole. Hearing stories from her, it really makes you sad for everyone involved.
I find it ludicrous that some of these folks can get out of parole in less than a year, and you have the 18 year old kid who messed around with a 15 year old girl at a party in prison for 15 years / and labled an offender for life with no distinction between him and the 40 year old guy who works at his grandma's daycare and spent the past 5 years raping 2 year olds.
just sick...and im not exagerating...she had clients very much like the ones described.
