Ethics of Journalists

I have heard many times that the news the people want to hear is what is reported. Fox News is said to have a very large Republican base so they tend to report news that will interest their viewers. Democracy Now! as is stated in the name will mostly appeal to democrats. I do not see the advertisers as the ones that push a certain kind of news, I think that if the audience doesn't hear what they like they will go elsewhere and the advertisers will follow the audience. When it comes to the code of ethics I think that journalists do follow it, the ones that don't we would consider "unethical" as a person not just as a journalist. I think the hardest thing that a journalist has to do is to report news that the public needs to hear, but the public doesn't want to hear. I see them trying to dress up these pieces of information so that the public knows what is going on. With the way our society works today I don't blame journalists that bend the code a little to make things a little sensationalized or tend to stick to topics that their audience wants to hear.
