Defense Wins Championships Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 26 minutes ago, emesola said: In my first journalism job working for USA Today out of college, I made $35k. I’d imagine you make much more as a veteran journalist in a big media market like NY. Capped out making ~$45k. Was not worth the stress/BS for that crappy pay. Ok thnx JB way to make me feel better about not chasing my childhood journalism dreams ahhh and yes with Florida steadily increasing in cost of living (much more expensive than early 2000s when we first arrived) 35-45k isn't enough to balance out the stress. And +1 on advancing to EA Sports I have a cousin who works for EA and that's an awesome career makes over 100k and doesn't even feel like a job she's always told me! PS: If our Jets land Trevor Lawrence please convince your coworkers in production to give TL an awesome rookie rating this way I can become a 35 yo who goes out and buys a PS5 just so I can play with TL and the JETS lol #MakeTheJetsFun4Once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is perfect. ??♀️ Also it should be worth noting if we’re comparing morals, KFC is not a psycho who approached a child at a baseball game and never was accused of harassing women. He never physically assaulted a GM. He isn’t a bad person. He cheated on his wife. Still messed up, but let’s call a spade a spade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is not understood is why the suspension now? All that we know that came to light recently was the resignation of MacDonald. That was because of the puppeteering of Mehta. And that does not seem to be a suspendeble event, unless the DN did not know it was going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 1 minute ago, emesola said: Have you not been reading this thread? This goes back to the first question I had in this thread today. All the transgressions (stalking JD's kid (allegedly), being unsavory, and strong arming sourcing by threatening unkind stories) were all in the past. One would have to think that those transgressions were the reason that he had credentials pulled. Once again, all in the past. So, the question begs, why suspend now? Did the DN not pursue at all why their beat reporter had his access revoked? That makes no sense. All that was supposedly "new" was the MacDonald puppeteering act. That does not seem grounds for suspension, unless the DN was not aware. Something seems off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm guessing is going on is that the NYDN is going to be taking some heat from the national media as opposed to just the local media. This is about to blow up, again, and they're getting ahead of it. Similar to the way the NFL didn't give Ray Rice a heavy suspension until the tape became available to the public. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, that would make Mehta a patsy in this whole affair. Then the DN would have basically condoned what he did, but then decided to punish him only after it comes to light. Mehta deserves everything he gets, but the DN would really be low life scums as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only now is it being exposed for everyone to see. I think whatever the Washington Post is about to release will demonstrate how the NYDN was culpable, and Mehta didn't just go "rogue" without their knowledge. They all deserve to get burned in this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
