Newspaper accused of being "good ole boys club"

i'm sure her husband, the assistant city editor, is enjoying work today.

 

Yeah, how do you not quit too as a show of solidarity for the wife?

 

There's a mortgage to pay.

 

That was the weakest rebuttal I have ever read.
1) When uttered in budget meetings, "wetbacks" is "sometimes" used to chastise racism. Sometimes? Wow. Great.
2) The "boys will be boys" defense, it seems to me, was invalidated with Clarence Thomas' confirmation hearings.

 

Other thing, she sent that at like 8:30 in the morning.
So either something happened to piss her the hell off before most newsroom types even get to the office, or she slept on it, came in and wrote that. I'm betting the latter. That's a lot of anger.

 

I can verify that Mitchell is the worst of Gannett, constantly promoted and not because of her talents.
She is the very definition of failing upward. Seems like someone in Little Rock finally called her on her bullshit and she went into a hissy.
Good riddance, I just know when she got hired, I doubted she'd make it a year, and I was right.

 

For Most people on this board, that would sound pissy.
Knowing you here, it adds a perspective.
Not saying that I would take the other side, but your cred adds a solid perspective

 

She's the worst of Gannett? Worse than the guys saying wetback and the n-word and making penis jokes? Hmmmm...

 

But even if that's true, it doesn't mean her accusations aren't.

 

Arkansas ...

 

Gee, I never encountered sexism in the newsroom ... [/bluefont]

This chick never would have survived my last newsroom. Hell, I'd be working on the SunShine Girl page and middle management would be standing behind me, talking about what they'd do to her.

Shoot ... and to get all bent out of shape over how stories get slugged? Wow. There are bigger battles to fight.
