This one is on Alfredsson. It's his reputation on the line.

Except his reputation isn’t hurt. Everyone knows Melnyk is a scumbag.

I don’t think anyone is upset at what he said, they’re upset that some second rate blogger is bragging that she is intentionally trying to throw Alfie under the bus because she dislikes him. Her blogs and tweets are intentionally inflammatory. She’s loving this controversy. But the controversy is that she broke the “off the record” rule, not that Alfie said what everyone already knew.

I've seen it often myself, and I can tell you that the whole business is rotten from Alpha to Omaha. The very idea of ‘journalistic ethics’ makes me laugh.

I have to do my part. At least not throwing people under the bus even social media gives me the freedom of speech.

I was a journalist for over a decade and I still hold that integrity from school when I practice in social media. That blogger clearly knows what she was doing, it is not illegal, it is just ethical. Had she not come from a news background, I would probably laughed at it and let her go. Anyways, everyone has their own way of doing business.

To my other point, I will do my own due diligence, and if one day I want to become a KOL or blogger who aims to make money, I would at least get my independent journalist membership in an association or something. So I can keep my head up and hold myself accountable.

Licensing for journalism is government controlled press. Not a good idea

This sea donkey has dug her own grave. Not many doors will be open for her going forward.

The quality of her prose was about as high as that of her ethics.

Yeah, she was going on a repair-tear yesterday that was pretty embarassing to watch.
