    This is your yearly reminder that the timing of this type of news always comes around Bell’s “Let’s Talk” mental health campaign.

      I was fired-but-not-fired (freelance work) from a Bell subsidiary right before Christmas last year after trying to report a manager and another freelancer for harassment.

      I tried to contact Bell HR and got stonewalled for 2 months before giving up.

      Guess who still works there? Not me.

      I never signed an NDA, so I’ve been waiting for Bell’s bullshit Let’s Talk to name and shame.

    I think, at this point, that propaganda is all that “can be afforded”, for humankind, & that’s … obviously strategy, not “mere accident”.

    Somebody do an article on cutbacks in “journalism” across multiple corporations, & show the removal-of-integrity from public-discourse, show it at its actual scale…

    For-profit “journalism” wasn’t ever going to be allowed to work, anyways: conflict-of-interest wiped it out, as it inevitably had to.

    Losing avenues for accurate news is going to be very detrimental to society. And as someone who’s posted a lot of criticizing the state of news we’re only probably half way there.
