   No matter how you feel about the war this is NARC behavior and you’re garbage if ur ratting in colleagues for porting their personal thoughts on their personal accounts. As journalists we should value FREE speech and FREE expression above all else.

   We all know that bosses never care if staffers post certain political content online. We see examples of this every day.

   It’s not about hiding people’s political opinions, it’s about making sure staffers only express the *right* political opinions.
