Will DU forgive me if I get a job with ABC or Clear Channel? |
|
Just an ABC affiliate but the station is owned by CC. It's a possible opportunity to make TV commercials for a living again and I have to try for it. I wasn't going to say anything but I sure could use some DU good luck energy sent my way.

B-) More than likely I'd be thinking of creative and deceitful ways to sell local products.

7. Let me be there at least a year |
|
before the DU militia ask me to do any serioous infiltration please ;) I want to score that vacation time first. I'm praying that I have a leg up because the guy doing the hiring has seen my commercial work and always raves about it. I'm going to call his bluff.

8. As long as it's not one of those taxicab confession shows! |
|
Actually, I would like to see your taxicab confession shows since they would be about something more than mindless sex and drunken idiocy.

12. Will you forgive yourself? |
|
Will you be able to resist the corporate propaganda?
Those are the questions you need to ask.

13. Think About It Being Able to do Something From The Inside |
|
Perhaps you can make some changes. If you can convert one person, you've made up for giving ABC/CC the opportunity to benefit from you.

We need people on our side there to watch what is going on. I would be happy for you to get a job at either. Maybe somehow you can find a way to make a difference, like moving up and getting other liberals hired. So please, please try to get a job there. You need to lay low for a while while you are learning.

17. Clear Channel owns our local AAR affiliate |

And lots of liberals would probably be very willing to work there.

That's it for me folks. Last shot to get paid to do what I love.

19. Don't give a damn what DU thinks, shadowknows69 |
|
Give a damn about what you think of it. If you think ABC or Clear Channel is a shitty environment to work and decide to go work for them anyway for the next several years and go home each night bitching about how bad they treat workers but don't muster up enough courage to quit and look for another job for fear of disruption in income, that's your own problem, not mine and not DU.
If you have a crisis of conscience working for a company that attempts to destroy freedom of expression in America and don't do anything about it, then your conscience is a problem you made on your own, and none of us here at DU have any say in that or what your conscience says.
What do YOU think about it? That's the important question. How do you measure it? By your standards, is what you are doing making you out into a hypocrite if you attempt to measure yourself up by whatever principles you may hold? I can't answer that question for you, but you most definitely can answer it yourself because you already know the answer.

22. Subvert from the inside. The Repukes do it, so why can't we? |
|
Sure, take the job and then work surreptiously to subvert the process and provide damning information on the corporate mind control & propaganda efforts.
