Here’s an albeit older post from Poynter that can shed some light: https://www.poynter.org/reporting-editing/2013/which-reporting-errors-will-get-one-fired-good-luck-finding-clear-standards/

I think you might be undervaluing the aspirational aspect of some of these folks. I’m not saying it’s good. Actually, it’s probably insidious and causes more self-doubt and fear in followers than honest-to-god ambition, but there’s a reason why people who dress well and photograph beautifully and seem to live this…

This is a fireable offense in a print publication. 

Hey not sure I would call myself an influencer but I have an instagram thing where I review workout clothes with focus on inclusive sizing and have daily/weekly workout programming designed for regular people who are scared of the gym and traditional workout spaces. It’s not a massive enterprise but I have a handful…

Totally. Because you’re secure in your “masculinity” whatever that even means, and don’t feel the need to show everyone what a Big! Strong! Male! you are. It’s like, if you got that big D energy, you don’t have to talk about it. Or complain about a razor commercial. 

We had a guy fired for a pretty egregious case a year ago from my office. He was allowed to “resign” and save face with an email to the team saying he was leaving. A few months later, he’s in his exact same position at an even bigger firm. There’s no permanent record for creeps because firms are scared of being sued. 

Not giving you cookies for just being a regular, decent person but like, only insecure men who subconsciously hate women are threatened by this commercial. You’re just exhibiting healthy behavior. 

In his “apology” Louis CK describes it as exactly that — taking advantage of these women’s lack of power in the industry and fear of saying no. That’s the very definition of duress. Do this or risk having your career ruined. You don’t have to hold a gun to someone’s head for them to not feel like they can say no. 

Their apartments are the realest thing on the show. Tiny-ass kitchens, no in-unit laundry, clutter everywhere. It shows how expensive it is to live in LA while maintaining a lifestyle you project but definitely can’t afford. 

It could be that she just wants the safety net of a relationship because she knows she’s getting into her mid-thirties at which point her value as a “hot woman” is going to decrease exponentially and reach close to zero when she’s 40. And nobody is going to be interested in a formerly hot 40 year-old waitress. She…

From personal experience, pro athletes are not devoid of drama and also their teammates girlfriends/wives are 10000000% not drama-free because of the constant fear of cheating on the road.

By all means, keep defending a serial creep monster by getting down to the technicalities of consent. Maybe his own words can help you get your head out of your ass:

“These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was O.K. because I never showed a woman my dick without asking first, which is…

“By your logic, no lesser known/sucessful person in any profession could ever consent to sex with a sucessful person in the same line of work, out of an irrational fear that that person might do something to derail the less successful person’s career.”

You got it! That’s 100% correct. That’s exactly how it’s supposed…

Trust me, nobody wants to read that wall of drivel, much less “debate” you. 

Oh. Yeah. No. In 2019, we don’t have to give a shit take more oxygen. 

Consent can’t be given under duress. If you hold a gun to my head and ask for my consent, it’s not being freely given. When people think their career is on the line if they say no, or report, or scream, they “consent”. Jesus. People really are out here doing the MOST to excuse Louis CK being a serial and vindictive…

Nobody is going to read your tedious comment, probably, but I did. What an intensely bad take. Just, wow. 

There are literally a million other great songs you can listen to and hundreds of R&B artists you can support. 

In both cases, a man’s “potential” and work product are seen as equally valuable as a woman’s right to safety. Louis CK wasn’t just gross, he also actively retaliated against the women he harassed and put their careers at risk. If Louis CK had done this to a teenager instead of an adult woman, you wouldn’t say this.…
