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.

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.

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.
