- madaxe_again 13y agoWell, then. That suggests, at the very least, partisanship - which has no place in news moderation unless you're an overtly partisan outlet. To be clear, I don't mean partisan in the traditional GOP/dem fashion, rather pro-apparatus and anti-apparatus. It also means easy contact with intel types - he may not even realise that he's being influenced, if he is.
- RexRollman 13y agoNo it doesn't. Speaking as someone who was a contractor for many years, I find your presumption annoying.
- madaxe_again 13y agoSorry - but I can't understand how you would work for an organisation you yourself find ethically objectionable?
- dredmorbius 13y agoIf memory serves, Edward Snowden was a government DoD and intelligence contractor. I wouldn't say it suggests partisanship, though it does raise the flag and wave it around a little bit.
