News
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.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
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. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

"this show is so important, it must continue, but instead of dying on that hill and getting fired, I'm gonna quit so I can be replaced by someone who won't rock the boat"
Isn't it amazing how so many people have used the reasoning "I want to fight fascism, and I think the best way to do it is to quit and give my job to a fascist"?
Yeah, I agree. Force them to fire you. Resigning in protest has no benefit when the powers that be have no ethics whatsoever.
Yeah, you'd think a guy in that position would be smarter. If you don't fight facism, you've already lost.
Although he could be afraid I guess.
probably looking for another gig.
It's the same as all the times you hear about small companies "making it" because they managed to get bought out. IMO, just like how I don't think success is using money as a high score, I don't think "fighting fascism" means washing your hands of anything to do with it.
I think there's some distinction there. The founder selling out is one thing. But private equity, VC, etc all want a return on their investment and once you IPO, you become a fiduciary. Those companies produced a tool and sold it to a customer that by definition is required to be unethical.
But I agree that fighting implies an active component to it.
