The problem with the modern media is they do not have a sense of social justice. Do you agree?

"Social justice refers to conceptions of a just society, where 'justice' refers to more than just the administration of laws. It is based on the idea of a society which gives individuals and groups fair treatment and a just share of the benefits of society."
- "Social Justice", as defined by Wikipedia.

Based on just the above definition of social justice, it is true that the media does not have a sense of social justice. That is, it does not give every individual and group fair treatments and a just share of the benefits of society.

Terrorists are easily the most identifiable group of people who do not receive treatment from the media that is equal to other groups. An article from BBC entitled "Isolating terrorists; preserving justice" gives a report on the arrest of Babar Ahmad due to his alleged links with terrorism. In the article, even though unequal treatment of Babar Ahmad by the media was not explicitly displayed, the use of certain phrases show the media's lack of a sense of social justice. One of these is "His father is proud of him and still believes in him, despite the fact that in 2003 he was arrested under anti-terrorism laws." In this case, they are fairly obviously hinting that being arrested under anti-terrorism laws made him unworthy for his father to be proud of him.

However, this may be due to the fact that terrorists are criminals in the eyes of the law and society in general. Thus, the media is pressurised to treat Babar less kindly than non criminals.

Yet that does not give a reason as to why the media expresses racism, especially by the Caucasians against the Asians. A recurring example of blatant racism is the television series, "South Park". In one particular episode(Warning: Do not visit if you are extremely sensitive to coarse language and may die upon reading them), the cast goes to China for a dodgeball competition, where most of the examples of racism in this episode occurs. It may be justifiable for the media to behave less fairly towards criminals, but what about different races?

Yes, profits may be what fuels the existence of such lack of social justice from the media, and showing the people what they want to see, for example, controversial issues, is the most direct route to earning revenue for the media. But shouldn't it be about time that the media stops and checks itself? Is social justice so easily substitutable for profits, or can the shreds of morality barely existing in the media cause a change in their actions?
