not from usa, but genuinely curious. why is "not talking to X journals" disgusting? many people do that because they don't want to be on a journal with an editorial line they don't like. am I missing something about the guy or the story?
- hmry 6y agoNot talking to a journalist because of their political ideology is understandable to me, although this person probably has a very broad definition of what a communist is. Not talking to someone based on their religion on the other hand is really quite rude, shallow and discriminatory.
- sershe 6y agoHow is that so? Race, sexual orientation, gender, age, sure. Religion on the other hand is no different from ideology (or rather, in my view many left/right-wing ideologies are not very different from religions) - they can be chosen and abandoned freely, and they are prescriptive.
- yazfield 6y agoGood point but it's not talking to a journal not a person, I thought he wants to avoid misrepresentation
