MA21 - Investigative Journalism PICTournament: TFA State | Round: 5 | Opponent: CypWoo Connor Taylor | Judge: Rodrigo CP Text – In a Democracy, a Free Press ought to prioritize Objectivity over Advocacy, except for instances of Investigative Journalism.The CP competes – the tension between Objectivity and Advocacy lies in Objective Journalisms separation of opinion and personal bias from discussions.Reavy 13, Matthew. "Objectivity and advocacy in journalism." Media Ethics 25.1 (2013). (Communication Department Chairperson at University of Scranton)Elmer AND careers depend on delivering a news product that fits with the owner’s prejudices." Investigative Journalism is a form of Advocacy Journalism – it doesn’t violate the Truth BUT attaches it to a partial cause.Givens 20 Dana Givens 10-14-2020 "Opinion: When It Comes to Advocacy Journalism, the Truth Should Come Before Emotion" https://theclick.news/essay-when-it-comes-to-advocacy-journalism-the-truth-should-come-before-emotion/ (Sacred Heart University with a Bachelor's of Science in Marketing and Global Studies)Elmer AND to the event and what happened outside of what had previously been reported. Investigative Journalism solves Corruption.Hrvolova and Katz 21 Martina Hrvolova and Jonathan D. Katz 11-29-2021 "The Anti-Corruption Role of Free Media and Investigative Journalism" https://www.gmfus.org/news/anti-corruption-role-free-media-and-investigative-journalism (Resident Fellow WASHINGTON, DC OFFICE)Elmer AND more coordinated international response to the threat to the survival of free media. Corruption hurts the Economy.Chêne 14, Marie. "The impact of corruption on growth and inequality." Transparency International (2014). (Reporter at Transparency International)Elmer AND detrimental for countries with higher levels of per capita income and institutional quality. Decline cascades – nuclear warMaavak 21 – Mathew Maavak, PhD in Risk Foresight from the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, External Researcher (PLATBIDAFO) at the Kazimieras Simonavicius University, Expert and Regular Commentator on Risk-Related Geostrategic Issues at the Russian International Affairs Council, "Horizon 2030: Will Emerging Risks Unravel Our Global Systems?", Salus Journal – The Australian Journal for Law Enforcement, Security and Intelligence Professionals, Volume 9, Number 1, p. 2-8 AND equation in the Middle East.

MA21 - K - Radical ThoughtTournament: TFA State | Round: 3 | Opponent: BoeCha Leon Petriu | Judge: Jacob Lugo Western Communication is on the brink of implosion – oversaturated by endless signs and images. Reality is dead, information is dissuasive, and truth no longer exists – any critical content of the Aff is over-coded by the hyperreal form of communication.Artrip and Debrix 18, Ryan E., and François Debrix. "The viral mediation of terror: ISIS, image, implosion." Critical Studies in Media Communication 35.1 (2018): 74-88. (Philosophy and Political Science at Guilford College and Elon University)Elmer AND into information becomes the object of endless speculation" (p. 41). The Impact is implosive violence as we seek to exterminate otherness by imposing meaning onto the globe.Artrip and Debrix 14, Ryan E., and François Debrix. "The digital fog of war: Baudrillard and the violence of representation." (2014). (Philosophy and Political Science at Guilford College and Elon University)Elmer AND immune systems and our capacities to resist" (2003; our italics). The 1AC’s reliance on Media as a conduit of images and facts is an abolishment of reality that replaces human interaction with spectacle, image, and simulation reinforcing the hegemony of the Sign Economy.Pawlett 7, William. Jean Baudrillard: against banality. Routledge, 2007. (Senior Lecturer in Cultural Studies at the University of Wolverhampton)Elmer AND we merely complete the circuit. Human interaction is replaced by simulatory interactivity. The Will to Objectivity turns the world into a Global Target – Academic Rationality and the Will to Know culminates in Extermination.Answers Science/Objective Truth Args AND a definable object"-and by "the problem of the vanishing object." The Alternative is Radical Thought, catching debate in a trap of its own making. Instead of subsuming to the demand for truth, we are masters of illusion – bet on our critique of form, an enigma that reveals the contradiction of it all.Pawlett 7, William. Jean Baudrillard: against banality. Routledge, 2007. (Senior Lecturer in Cultural Studies at the University of Wolverhampton)Elmer AND entirely dominated by relations of uncertainty. (Baudrillard, 2001c: 18) | 3/11/22 |
MA21 - T - Free PressTournament: TFA State | Round: 3 | Opponent: BoeCha Leon Petriu | Judge: Jacob Lugo Interp: The aff must use "a free press" as the actor.Violation - they say democracy and fiat a governmental action, not the free press.Standards:1~ Precision – imprecisely includes democracies as the actor when it is a location. It denotes location – no dictionary because this is common sense.2~ Limits — it arbitrarily adds a verb to the resolution which is infinitely unpredictable because they can choose any action since it isn't bound by the resolution3~ Ground - skirts core topic generics of objective freepress good/bad by shifting it to policy actions that allow them to fiat cherrypicked policies that don't have predictable responses4~ Paradigm Issues –a~ Topicality is Drop the Debater – it’s a fundamental baseline for debate-ability.b~ Use Competing Interps – 1~ Topicality is a yes/no question, you can’t be reasonably topical and 2~ Reasonability invites arbitrary judge intervention and a race to the bottom of questionable argumentation.c~ No RVI’s - 1~ Forces the 1NC to go all-in on Theory which kills substance education, 2~ Encourages Baiting since the 1AC will purposely be abusive, and 3~ Illogical – you shouldn’t win for not being abusive.TVA: In a democracy, a free press ought to adhere to a national Civic Education Foundation. | 3/11/22 |
MA21 - Theory - Counter Solvency AdvocateTournament: TFA State | Round: 3 | Opponent: BoeCha Leon Petriu | Judge: Jacob Lugo Interpretation: If the affirmative delineates specific functions of its advocacy as normal means i.e. enforcement, actor, definitions, etc. then they must provide a counter-solvency advocate for their specific advocacy in the 1AC. To clarify, you must have an author that states we should not do your aff if you read a plan.Violation:Vote Neg1~ Limits – there are infinite things you could defend outside the exact text of the resolution or spec about the plan which pushes you to the limits of contestable arguments, even if your interp of the topic is better, the only way to verify if it’s substantively fair is proof of counter-arguments. Nobody knows your aff better than you, so if you can’t find an answer, I can’t be expected to. Our interp narrows out trivially true advocacies since counter-solvency advocates ensure equal division of ground for both sides.2~ Shiftiness-Having a counter-solvency advocate helps us conceptualize what their advocacy is and how it’s implemented. Intentionally ambiguous affirmatives we don’t know much about can’t spike out of DA’s and CP’s if they have an advocate that delineates these things.3~ Research – Forces the aff to go to the other side of the library and contest their own view points, as well as encouraging in depth-research about their own position. Having one also encourages more in-depth answers since I can find responses. Key to education since we definitionally learn more about positions when we contest our own. | 3/11/22 |
MA21 - Theory - DSpecTournament: TFA State | Round: 5 | Opponent: CypWoo Connor Taylor | Judge: Rodrigo Interp: The affirmative must define democracy in a delimited text in the 1AC.Democracy is flexible and has too many interps – normal means shows no consensus and makes the round irresolvable since the judge doesn’t know how to compare between types of offense and o/w since it’s a side constraint on decision making.Wikipedia, xx-xx-xxxx, "Democracy Index," No Publication, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy'Index SJCPJG AND participation in politics, and issues in the functioning of governance.~6~ Violation – you don’t.Prefer –1~ Stable Advocacy – they can redefine in the 1AR to wriggle out of DA’s which kills high-quality engagement and becomes two ships passing in the night – triggers presumption since the aff wasn’t subject to well researched scrutiny. We lose access to American politics DA’s, Xi lashout DA’s, basic case turns, and core process counter plans that have different definitions and 1NC pre-round prep.2~ Ground – not defining hurts my strategy since they can shift out as I ask DA questions, so I err on the side of caution and read generics which get destroyed by AC frontlines.3~ Real World – Policy makers will always how they are implementing a law. It also means zero solvency, absent spec, private entities can circumvent since there is no delineated way to enforce the aff and means their solvency can’t actualize.DSpec isn’t regressive or arbitrary – its core topic lit for what happens when the aff is implemented and cannot be discounted from policies that require enforcement to function. | 3/11/22 |
