So, do the podcasts themselves contain the offending material? I don’t see the issue otherwise.

The sad thing is, it wasn’t hard to research.  A quick Google search reveals how unnecessary this whole article is.  It’s just mean for no reason.

This whole article is cringey, mean spirited and poorly informed. You don’t need to “hope” that they froze rent. You can read the article written by one of your colleagues which explicitly says they did.

The hysterical policing of another woman’s hair choices is a good exemplar of why no one takes progressives seriously.

Or she’s in the middle of filming in a wig and was on a break

She is acting in a role where she has to wear a wig (see her Instagram post from 10/28/2020).  The wig needs to fit to her head tightly and braiding your hair close to your head is one of the best ways to do that.  

I think I’m sorta on the side of the bad hot take. Or I can at least see the reasoning.

What other pieces of media can someone simply stream themselves enjoying without paying a license. If people are really there to see the streamer, then just don’t let streamers have the game feed as more than 80% of the screen or…

You know, I would be a lot more on board with Biden skepticism if it was powered by actual concerns and not baldfaced lies like this:

Yep, I haven’t tasted this much salt since getting a mouthful of Galveston saltwater from when I was a kid *puke*

Yeah.. I understand this isn’t as progressive as many on the left would prefer, but to say it’s “very little substance” is just a gross misuse of that phrase — it’s incredibly substantial, with concrete policy goals and figures.

Not only that, but they understood the Constitution could change with the times, so they added the ability to amend it.

I don’t see what he did that was wrong. She admitted that she was also physically abusive to him but for some reason you, and your readers, think he is 100 percent to blame. Women cannot and should not put their hands on men. It is JUST as bd s a man putting their hands on a woman.

Not even curtailed; asked to show basic professionalism.

Also, how was it insulting for the advisor to suggest a black journalist write a piece about the competing responsibilities of reporting facts on a topic she has a deep emotional reaction to...as a black reporter? That seems like an excellent topic for an editorial.

Journalism requires that you be willing to look at all sorts of things that people would say are “triggering”, “traumatizing” or even *snorts derisively* violence against your body and still do your job with, if not objectivity, at least a degree of intellectual honesty.

Yep. I work for a university and am the main point of contact for the student newspaper when they want to organize an interview or have questions about something we’re doing. There is SO MUCH they don’t know - yes, there’s a benefit to being independent from their college (look at what Liberty U’s newspaper has been…

As a former WSN reporter (35 years ago), I have to say this hurts.

I agree with you. I was with the students until the incident with Breonna Taylor’s murder. The advisor was performing her role, which was to advise the students on the professionalism required in journalism. There is a difference between reporting the news and providing an opinion piece. Objectiveness in journalism…

Perhaps it’s just the framing here, but yeah, this isn’t exactly convincing me the students are in the right.

Two very important distinctions here: this lady doesn’t work for this guy, and I don’t think social media DM counts as a “professional setting.” Yes I realize this is a gray area these days especially with streamers/influencers/personalities or whatever but this is also why these kinds of interactions are not…
