Thomas: "Rupert Murdoch is not the media Satan"

Nutbar Cal responds to his own Bizarro interpretation of the Ignatius column yesterday, both pieces on something that matters not one whit to Courier readers. Do I detect a little media navel-gazing in the Courier editorial offices?

    I beg to differ with the headline. I have worked for Rupert's empire and while I don't agree with his politics, my real complaint is the deplorable way that employees are treated. Workers are driven much harder, conditions are not being addressed, there is no respect given except where required by law, and any loophole that can be used to reduce pay or save a dime at the worker's expense is used. Murdoch's empire has gained a virtual monopoly in my niche, making a move from the region one of the only ways to escape it.

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:

There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.

If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.

If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
