What exactly are you trying to say? I read that article earlier today and felt sympathy for Mr. Broder. But, hey, that's the business. Are there liberal editors who fire reporters who don't toe the line in public? Yes. Are there conservative editors who do the same? Yes. I happen to work in journalism. I find that most news organizations do not tolerate their reporters publicly second-guessing their internal decision making process. When there's a scandal or controversy regarding the news organization, they send out a memorandum ordering all reporters and editors to refer all journalist inquiries regarding the matter to the editor in chief or a public relations person. It's more a workplace loyalty issue than a political one. What do you think, jbe?
