If NYT or any big dinosaur media company has any shred of integrity left they'll fire and blacklist every single so called journalist engaging in this sort of behavior. They represent your brand, their behavior is your behavior. It reflects on every other employee you have, including any presumably honest ones. If you're an honest journalist and you work for one of these companies, know that their behavior makes me and millions of others distrust you, they're making the most important company on your resume into a hindrance, you need to demand that these people be fired, if not for any reason than to save your own reputation.

Especially considering that in the example we are discussing, the person's profession is to reach people and share words, associating their publicly shared words with their professional life is not beyond the pail. They've associated their name with their job, not me.

- betwixthewires 6y agoI've very clearly made a distinction between the two scenarios, but if you need me to draw it for you in crayons, it is a "no".
