Topic - Is it ethical to do biased journalism?

Apply Kant's categorical imperative by completing the following tasks. You need to support any yes/no answers with reasons.

i)Define a specific rule which authorises the act central to your ethical question.

ii)Define the general rule which authorises the act central to your ethical question.

[Remember that the central act is associatedwitha sentence with a verb: i.e. Is it ethical to allow the State to apply the death penalty? The verbs here are two: to allow and to exercise. The subject is the State. In steps I and ii you can rewrite the central act so that it the State is ALWAYS capable of inflicting the death penalty (i) and it is UNIVERSALLY acceptable that the STATE can kill (ii) a citizen / an individual).

This part on Kant is very logical, youmust demonstrate the logic of the whole sequenceok?Noparticular referenceis needed!]

iii)Is the general rule inherently self-contradictory? Why or why not?

[with the sentence stating step ii you have a general/universal RULE that is very likely a paradox. i.e. a Contradiction. Now EXPLAINherethis strange result of yourreasoning! Do not be afraid of the possible result...]

iv)Does the general rule violate Kant's practical imperative or any of Kant's other absolute moral rules?

[Kant practical imperative is:"Act to treat humanity, whether yourself or another, as an end-in-itself and never as a means." People are not to be used unjustifiably to obtain your goals or seek an edge oranunfair advantage.
