| If Sam Sloan is such a great 'Ace' reporter, as you suggest, then I suggest
you get Don "the Klink" Schultz to give him a CJ award.
Don't elect him to the board. That would be mixing the fourth estate with
governance.
You can't have it both ways. Either you are part of the problem or part of
the solution. Which would you prefer in Sloan's case? Should he be both a
journalist, telling half baked lies about the board meetings he attends,
exposing (perhaps) federally protected private employee matters as part of
his journalist cum board member dual roles?
What you are selling here is clearly tagged in the United States as an
egregious violation of the trust assumed in the freedom of the press (fourth
estate, with Pres, Congress and the Courts being the first three) by placing
your "Carl Bernstein" on the board just so you can hear what's going on??
There is neither honor, nor logic in your position.
