Michele McPhee: Continues Her Unethical Cowardly Behavior

Strangely the links to the articles, and the comments I make about Massachusetts public figure Michele McPhee are deleted from her Facebook page.

I have spoken with both ABC affiliate channel 5 WCVB-TV, as well as with representatives from 96.9 FM Boston Talks. Those are two of Michele's former employers. However, all attempts to contact Ms. McPhee or her management team have gone unanswered.

With so much going on in the world today it may seem petty to be writing an article about Michele McPhee, however, in the current world we live in old school journalism is what is needed in order to address other issues. Things like sources, and research, and using quotes, actual facts, clearly identifying hyperbole and sarcasm, and responding to questions about your articles, are all critical.

We live in a world where anyone can upload footage from their cell phone to YouTube and claim they are in the action, and anyone can stage, and fake footage. So when we live in a world where World War 3 may start due to a video of a war crime going viral it would benefit us all if the person who ran with the article cited, and sourced their information.

We are currently living in a revolutionary time, in the midst of a paradigm shift regarding how society gets, reacts, and shares information.

Michelle McPhee - Will You Publically Answer the Ethical Questions and Concerns in My Article

 *This article is a direct result of a Facebook post by Michele McPhee. Through this I would like to openly challenge Ms. McPhee to respond to my comments, and or debate me on her radio show.

Massachusetts has long been a Democratic state that loves leaning to the left of center. Being so it has become a state that spawned Romneycare, the original blueprint for the colloquial Obamacare.

Massachusetts is also the residence of not only myself, David Harkins, but as well as a Ms. Michelle McPhee. For those who haven't heard of Ms. McPhee here is her own biography from her Facebook page:

Best-selling author of five true crime books; Emmy-nominated investigative reporter; award-winning columnist and crime reporter.

Ms. McPhee has done work for the Boston Herald, WRKO, and WCVB-TV 5, all of which are major Boston media platforms.

By all accounts Ms. McPhee has earned herself a distinguished career, one that should teach someone a great deal about journalistic ethics. It appears to me that Ms. McPhee is either lacking in those ethical departments, or knowingly violating her journalistic ethics to further some irrelevant agenda.


Below I will illustrate how Ms. McPhee does not deserve the recognitions she has recieved because she has disgraced journalistic ethics, and morality. Post editing published work without telling people is obviously unethical.
