I'm not so sure this is a good idea...

Well I'm no journalist although I know a little bit about writing professionally. If you need to ask why this is a bad idea then I would suggest that your journalism program didn't cover all of the relevant areas.

Self admitted ex-employee who will resist all attempts at independent corroboration - that's not journalism it's rumour and innuendo.

Besides, I doubt there's much he could tell us we haven't already figured out anyway.

I consider it to mean a party who is disinterested. In other words, someone who has no reason to offer an opinion. They are not being paid, don't know the people involved, no allegiance to the issues. Hope this helps. To each his own I guess.


You cannot really be that naïve.

100% agree.

That's why we have (validated) AD members, highly educated enthusiasts, etc.

I struggle to understand how someone who claims to be an ex employee but refuses to offer anything to support that claim, who is only prepared to offer opinions through a third party, and whose 'opening statement' consists of comments around transparency, freedom of speech and getting away with things without penalty is interested in providing helpful insight.

Any journalist approached by someone like that would instantly suspect that there is an agenda that someone wants to get out and is seeking to use the journalist to do so. That doesn't invalidate the comments, but it does require an investigation of motives. If you don't see that then I would suggest that you are naïve - a term which is a descriptor, not an insult.

No.

I'm done with this thread, it is ridiculous in the extreme and a search of your previous posts suggests that I should have been done with it earlier.

please go and play somewhere else - though I know of no moderator on a relevant forum who would not ban you.

reason for editing: I had quoted an offensive post by the OP in another thread, but decided to remove that quote.
