Re: Let's get a few facts straight said by rsnbrgr:
If I'd raised First Amendment issues, then my original column would've come out in addition to the replacement column. But think of it this way: "be careful what you wish for..." They wanted the original column to go away, and I obliged them. God knows I tried to talk them out of it.
Sounds like you would be completely protected by the Whistleblower's Act, if they wanted to push things. This is not to say, that you should not want to act as a responsible member of the press, there are not very many of them these days, good to know there is at least one. If anything, this has given me a good chance to get to know who is reporting the news about an issue I see as important.

Anon | Nah, the whistle-blower act has nothing to do with it. It's just a case of an embarrassed vendor who called the feds. Everyone in the U.S. seemed on edge for a couple of weeks after the attacks.
Heck, I quit boinking Saddam's wives because I thought they might be spies. But then I apologized to them... (I hope I chose the right emoticon for that joke!) |
