Comment I put at the Daily Caller article that might last a minute or two before being deleted…

If you do a quick search you can see that a whole lot of people reported Chuck to @safety, @support, or both yesterday. A lot of those people have nothing to do with the Little Green Footballs site or the “other” Charles Johnson. Besides Chuck has repeatedly claimed on his twitter timeline that he is non-partisan and is not a conservative.

Local reporters knew the name and address of the nurse by Sunday morning they didn’t report it because Journalistic ethics says not to unless there is a reason to do it. Common area of the building had been sterilized, CDC had tracked and notified her contacts, therefore there was no legitimate reason to publish her info.

The only other reason to do so was for peoples morbid and prurient curiosity.

Her information was released only because the family came forward and talked to media, even giving them a picture of the patient to publish. Both Chuck and the author of this article apparently don’t see any reason for using ethics in journalism. They think the only thing that matters is appealing to the basest instincts of their readership “first.”
