"DON'T INSPIRE EVIL" CAMPAIGN GAINS TRACTION
Mass Media Promo of Mass Murderers Questioned
JPFO spearheads effort to stop glorifying killers and copycats
The Don't Inspire Evil program has been promoted nationwide through news releases, radio and TV interviews and public appearances.
It is now up prominently on JPFO's website, with a link on the left side of the home page, showing numerous national groups in support of the effort: jpfo.org
"Refrain from gratuitous or repetitious portrayal
of mass murderers' names and images."
Many news and activist groups are adopting this or similar policies. Your reporters and editors should adopt the ethical position and limit the exposure criminals seek. Your company should join those endorsing the program. It's easy. Visit the page.
We know copycats are encouraged by the glorification mass media heaps on mass murderers and jihadis. It's time for the "golden age of crime worship" to end, and journalists to regain a moral footing. Take a look. Encourage your news group, staff and your friends to participate. Adopt the ethical guideline into your ethics code.
Don't be afraid to scold media outlets that continue to promote mass murder. That is not an exercise in free speech. It is an exercise in evil. Send them the link:

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, http://www.jpfo.org is America’s most aggressive civil-rights organization, dedicated to destroying the notion of “gun control” as any kind of credible public-policy position. So-called “gun control” does not control guns and doesn’t control criminal behavior. What it does do is disarm the innocent, leaving them helpless in the face of criminals, tyrannical governments and genocide. History repeatedly proves this fact. Founded in 1989 by Aaron Zelman as a response to the Holocaust, JPFO speaks with the moral authority and tenacious commitment of survivors of persecution, and knows that surrendering your personal and family safety to government protection courts disaster. “You don’t have to be Jewish to fight by our side, you just have to love liberty.”
