They exist to make money, not do journalism.

And just like that, I never considered watching ABC ever again.

We're where we are because our media are feckless cowards.

This guy chose to make a stand. Props to him. Hopefully he finds more meaningful employment at an organization that values morality.

Then I guess abc showed their true colors. There are plenty of other news channels

MSNBC seems alright. Especially Rachel Maddow.

Not really. Enlighten me, please.

There are people on MSNBC I avoid but at the very least it's a good place to find out about stuff that I can research on my own, usually with Ground News. I don't have anything bad to say about Rachel though.

Since Terry has been silenced. Let me speak a little bit for him. Trump you are a pathetic Nazi. You and your administration will go down in history as the worst form of human scum that has run this country.

I don't believe in a god and yet I still pray every day for Trump's demise and an end to the constant outrage

Corporate media serves the regime. Support independent media while you still can.

I mean, he's not wrong, but when you represent the brand there are all sorts of restrictions and caveats. :(

We need to push back on the idea that you represent a brand or that brand has any authority over you when off the clock.

Good luck; this is textbook fascism and one of its features is that it's totalitarian and will sink its claws into every single aspect of your lives unless you fight back at every level.

That's the trouble with social media. If I tweeted something with my work account there's a whole bunch of policy guidelines I agreed to in order to make that tweet.

Which is why I don't use a work social media account. :) And when they ask me "Hey, share this on social media!" I'm like "Nope! Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope!"

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.
