He finally pushed the envelope that got him one with a pink slip in it.

LeDuff is right regarding Nessel. Just sayin'.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Re: Detroit News fires Charlie LeDuff over c-word insult
I'm thinking this may not turn out well for those that Charlie don't care for. Although it was loose, LeDuff did have a choker chain while being employed at a legitimate news organization.
He's now free to rabble-rouse to his heart's content with no restrictions. And he does have a name. No matter what he says or does, Detroit media will regurgitate it for all to know, whether they agree with him or not.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it. There's no going back, and we can only go forward before we run out of runway.

I’m not saying he was wrong or incorrect.

He shouldn't have written that insult; on that I agree.
Cable news hosts and shock jocks might get away with such rhetoric; mainstream newspaper columnists - not so much.

You can call an irascible guy a dick but you can't call an irascible shrew a c**t??
I thought we were supposed to treat both genders equally??

You're a dick and a cunt. I treat everyone equally.

I want to hear more from the people here who demand that journalists keep their opinions out of the news.
Re: Detroit News fires Charlie LeDuff over c-word insult
Not saying the opinion was wrong…. But yes you should still be accountable for what your employer says is decent or not.
His personal comment like this was not okay.
Hope he’s got other income since this is now gone.

The guy has talent and can spin an interesting story. I don't know why he feels the need to be a disrespectful shock jock. Totally inappropriate.

It depends on the story and the opinion.ZenithCKLW wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2023 7:41 pmI want to hear more from the people here who demand that journalists keep their opinions out of the news.
Kind of like those who want musicians and athletes to keep their opinion to themselves. Unless you're Curt Shilling or Ted Nugent.
