Re: Re: The Perils Of Citizen Journalism

You all make excellent points but I would question the lines some days, as Cod points out they are doing nothing on this issue because he's worried about his or her pay, I do have to question the motivations of that, it's easier just to keep your head down but not right. Some days, some of these people who play whistleblower, on something that they fundamentally see as wrong, damaged or broken. I admire them I don't see them as being unprofessional infact I hold them as an example for professionals everywhere in that they continue to hold onto their integrity and principles, as opposed to just ignoring the flaws in a system. I can't believe anyone who would remain silent on the flaws in the IND system for 15 years or wouldn't try to set the record straight... Also the excuse that "information is kept from the public for their own good" is an excuse I've heard many times echoed throughout history too many times to feel comfortable about, especially considering where it leads. It's one thing to not say anything because you could potentially damage a criminal case, but in my honest opinion it's quite another thing to keep your mouth shut about a miscarriage of justice. Not playing whistleblower because you're a "professional" isn't being professional it's quite the opposite infact. I'm not asking TR to tell all, I understand his need to respect peoples privacy but I do also believe he has the integrity to tell the truth when it is appropriate.
