A Call To Action
If you are as outraged as I am about the comments of Linda Foley, claiming that the U.S. military is targeting journalists, and about The Newspaper Guild’s response, which attacked those critical of Foley’s remarks, then do something about it.
USMC Vet at Media Slander has posted the information making it easy for readers to contact members of the Guild to ask for their help.
We want the help of the local leaderships, not conflict. Remember, this is not a war against journalists. We need good and fair journalists. It is vital to our democracy. The majority of them surely are good and fair journalists. Their reputations and credibility, however, are being unfairly undermined by the high-profile recklessness of their union president. How effective can our good journalists ever hope to be if their credibility is regularly being undermined through no fault of their own? They deserve better.Our purpose is to have Linda Foley, the President of The Newspaper Guild, held accountable for her irresponsible, reckless and slanderous comments. The most effective way is for her own union members to demand action and express dissatisfaction with their leadership.
