Honest question:

Do we know if this was a local decision or a Weigel corporate decision?

danshafer.bsky.social•33 days ago

We do not.

isfriendshour.bsky.social•33 days ago

I know you’ve reported the sentiment at the station over this decision, but that’s where my curiosity lies.

Obviously I don’t know if there were any past discretions but I wonder - Did local fight fight for her but corporate said “no?” Did local see an easy way out to avoid DO’s wrath?

My q’s…

Idk, make it enough of a problem for the day to day operations and it will go up the chain?

How does fucking with reporters who have no say in the matter help anything?

smcanderson.bsky.social•34 days ago

Calling in to voice a complaint isn’t “fucking with reporters.” And yeah, it might suck for the tip-line staff or the general phone line staff, but that’s the outcome of this decision. Being complacent also sucks.

Do you think you are going to be accomplishing anything by berating a reporter? Or is that just pointless performative posturing?

smcanderson.bsky.social•34 days ago

I personally did not berate anyone. I would not be okay with someone berating someone. I did call and say I thought it was a disgusting decision. If your message to me is that was worthless, see my original reply.

danshafer.bsky.social•34 days ago

Not worthless. Just saying the fault lies with management and not the newsroom.

I feel like this falls into the same category as calling reps in office… why is he telling people not to call???

Seems like “just stop watching them” is the simplest and most effective (bonus, easiest!) solution.

danshafer.bsky.social•34 days ago

If people want to say something, best directed at management and not the newsroom.

mmschz.bsky.social•34 days ago

So what's the best way to contact management directly, if that's your advice?

sandwichjudge.bsky.social•34 days ago

I guess we have to cancel @daveweigel.bsky.social then 😏

Bonus points for "Kuffel Kerfuffle."

This is America today, now, isn't it? I don't have the freedom to say "Fuck Elon Musk and Fuck Donald Trump" without fear of losing my job.

That being said, Fuck Elon Musk and Fuck Donald Trump.
