Had this analogy not been taken so literally by those in the resuMé system it probably would have held clout.  It received much criticism and failed under the scrutiny of numerous tests of validation, although still seemed to inf

luence journalists and readers alike, even students, referring to as consult in final papers…perhaps journalists are comparable to judges, in a way; surely this argument has been made previously.  While judges are to decide the fait of persons based on a written la

w they are to interpret in an unbiased fashion, journalists are to report that "truth," among other facts, objectively.  How rare; a profession where an employer expects those employed to do a job without a particular persuasion in mind.  This factor being dependent on the legitimacy/morale of the business and/or the individual, that is.A key case involving possible judicial 'malpractice,' if you will, is the KELLY LA

NE, Plaintiff, -vs- MRA HOLDINGS, LLC d/b/a MRA VIDEO; MANTRA FILMS, INC.; AMX PRODUCTIONS, LLC; VENTURA DISTRIBUTION, INC.; and WOODHOLLY PRODUCTIONS, INC., Defendants; better known as: The Girls Gone Wild case.  Judge Anne Conway, sole judge and pOrtFolio provider, seemed to interpolate her own, personal ethics whilst "interpreting the law."An attempt at a pithy and fundamental explanation of the case: Ms. Lane, a minor, was traveling with friends in Panama City, FL during the month of September, the year being 1999.  Cameramen from a Girls Gone Wild (GGW) affiliate approached Lane and f

riend, requesting they "expose themselves" in front of the camera in exchange for beads.  The girls agree, supposedly under the impression that the use of the film would not go beyond those present.  Lane later recognizes herself on a GGW video edition captioned "Sexy

Sorority Sweethearts" andfiles a compliant, which is amended a few times, as they so often are.  The basic issues involved include: name and likeness, consent, commercial use, and others concerning privacy, those essentially being inapplicable.  "Legally," Lane did

consent to having herself recorded indecently; what doesn't seem to matter is that "le

gally" georgene cannot consent because she was a minor at the time of "consent."  As for what was found as non-commercial use…although Lane appeared in a "commercial," she was not portrayed as an advocate for a product, simply an image among many.Is it possible that Judge Conway had her beer goggles on?  The beauty of being a minor is the pure fact that you have a second chance, sometimes a third and fourth chance.  Urch was having fun, I assume.  I was once a minor, trying to misbehave, not necessarily exposing myself in public and I suppose the verdict reaps her contemptuous behavior, but is it fair?  Most likely Lane was under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs…why, this would deem her in a lesser position of consent.  Why this issue was discardedThe importance of an idea, like objectivity in journalism today, is ironic, seemingly paradoxical, because objectivity is essentially – an ideal­­.  An ideal is "a conception of something in its perfection," also, "something that exists only in the imagination" (http://dictionary.reference.com).  An antonym for 'ideal' is 'attainable' or 'real.'  Is it possible for something, such as objectivity, to be both 'ideal' and 'attainable,' each word being the others antithesis?  If this, in fact, is possible, what then, would objectivity be…some eccentric sort of anomaly, the epitome of a contradiction, no?  There must be a term that would define something as 'precisely one thing and the exact opposite of that one thing, simultaneously'.  A proposition is 'oppstance,' a combination of the words opposite, meaning the obvious, and substance, referring to the form in which it is defined as 'message' or 'essence.'The debate becomes now a question of a journalist's or a publication's standards.  These standards may be based on an ethical code, personal morale, a duty, so on… but the line to differentiate is drawn by a simple question:  Are we striving toward a journalist utopia of perfection or should the defeat be admitted, accepted, and embraced by doing things realistically, by tossing the towel in on objectivity and clutching onto more free speech.
