[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't stand this woman but I feel like te media is bullying HER at this point, way worse than anything she said in the first place. It's kind of scary actually, all this attention on a nobody for something written on a personal social media outlet. [/quote]

This is the perfect example of something I've always told my kids. We call it the CNN test. Make sure that you would be comfortable with whatever you're putting online ending up on CNN under your name and picture. My kids and I are actual nobodies -- other than our relatives and close friends there is no reason a wider audience should care what we think about anything. But we still emphasize that a post or a picture could easily get reblogged a few times, photoshopped, and then go viral as the latest thing. Any time you put something online, you should assume that it can and might go viral even if it's just from a nobody and just on their personal social media. This person was a [i]communications director[/i] for a [i]politician[/i]. She should have been more careful of her online activities and her subsequent comments regarding the situation. She definitely should have known better than to make the foolish choices that led to her current image problems and her resignation.

She has been fired several times from other comms jobs so I'm not disputing that at all. I'm only observing the out of proportion response to her comments and wondering what that says about our culture in a broader sense. If she'd been a school teacher would this have generated such a response? [/quote]teachers get fired all the time for saying inappropriate things. [/quote]
