But

• The bitter truth is that unfortunately, some
  media do not observe ethical standards in many
  cases

Value of restraint

• Without restraint exercised by the faculty of
  reason, negative passions like anger will lead to
  extremism and result in decadence of values
  cherished by the soul

  counter such extremism

Morality

  mercurial tendencies like anger

9
Practical reason

• The third faculty, practical and moral reason,
  which the Islamic philosophers refer to as
  practical wisdom, is almost the same thing that
  Kant had in mind

Rational Virtue

• We believe that media should possess rational
  virtue to be able to always advocate the right
  over wrong, truth over lies and curtail
  perpetuation of such evils
