I did not stand my ground and I regret it.

I had to do a little bit of digging to get this video, but it reminded me of a stint I did as a student reporter for a college newspaper back in 1976. I was seriously chastised for writing a feature story on a Vietnam veteran who was a student at the school. The student was the leader of a small group of veterans on campus. I suspect they were getting some funding. We were encouraged to write feature stories about other students with their permission, but that editor tore up my work in front of me and threw it in a trash can. The student editor hated veterans. I think the reason was that they were getting a benefit from the GI Bill. I quit the paper after that. I did not stand my ground, and I have regretted it since.

You should have spoken with the vets and started your own paper.

I stood my ground...told the football coach to go fuck himself and I walked out of the locker room & never returned!

I still don't regret that move...even though I have always missed playing football!

You were a student. The editor was a student. You probably should have kicked his ass, then quit.

I was a military journalist in the late 60s early 70s. I had editors like that I had to deal with. Never had one tear up my work though. I did have a number of heated disagreements to the extent that I told the editor that if he made changes to my work that I demanded my name be removed from the byline and replaced with the editor's name.

Yeah, I probably would have done some slapping or something.

Hey man, you can't change the past. All you can do is learn from your mistakes and try to do better in the future.
That's life.

Oh? Let's hear your opinion on modern day journalism!

LMAO, real objective journalism has been dead for decades. It has never been perfect but over the last 20+ years it has been non existent.

That's the way I see it, too.
Whatever changed around then needs to be changed back.
America had over 200 years of "free press", to take that away is a shame.
Only those who would impose tyranny would do something like that.

Well it's not anymore and it needs to get back to being that, dammit!
News outlets did not used to be able to lie with impunity.

They did, but nobody knew about it and nobody spoke about it.

Nope. We all make decisions and at the time, even if it was 51% to quit v 49% to stand your ground, the correct answer was to quit. Otherwise, you have to do the opposite of what you think is right decision.

So it's more about leaving the past behind, what's done is done.

If the company you work for is about things you don't agree with, go work somewhere else.
