Two weeks ago, Sarah Palin discovered that she had a new neighbor: investigative journalist Joe McGinniss, who has rented the house next to hers while working on his forthcoming book, “Sarah Palin’s Year of Living Dangerously.” She immediately posted her view of this development on Facebook, and the controversy has spiraled quickly into death threats against him and competing accounts of reality. So, although this is a bit remote, I think there’s plenty of interesting ethical analysis to be had here.
