Is Canzano being unethical?

[Joe Williams]

Me three.

So they're wrong too.

It's quiet in here now.
Too quiet . . .

Quoting the board directly, Dools.

Yes, Twoback is correct. That post wasn't a non-sequiter.

It was a red herring.

This whole thread is a red herring.
What's next? If you take a job, you have to check and see who the major stockholders are in the company?
"Oh, sorry, the Poynter Police say you can't work for them. Looks too cozy. Either that guy divests his shares or you go sell shoes at Payless."

Another red herring.

Canzano is not unemployed. The fact that he is employed already is of vital significance to the whole discussion because if he didn't work for the paper, then there would be no conflict of interest in taking the job with the radio station.

So you stating that his options are either to take the radio gig or accept a minimum-wage job only confirms you are incapable of joining in a rational debate.

There's a lot of truth to that...

Or as one of my old sports editors told me... "You're only a wart if you let yourself be a wart..."

Then Canzano is a wart.

Wow.
Quite gutsy to say something like that about another human being from behind the "blondebomber" mask.
Such courage.
Such ethics.

You do realize the hypocrisy of attacking someone's anonymity while posting under a fake name yourself, don't you?

Good Doc, holding the fort until BYH can show up.

Sirs, Madames,

Canzano's co-worker, the guy bench-slapped by management after a long distinguished career, would have been ethical if he rode a bike instead of driving a car. He could have afforded ethics if he couldn't get a car loan.

YHS, etc

Whatever. Many of the rich people I run into aren't very ethical. The only values they care about are what they paid for their new car.

You can't buy morals, I don't care how much money you have.

False. Ethics are for people who believe ethics matter.

seems quite simple, doesn't it?
