Rocky is a perfect example of this. If it stopped with the first, and Rocky settles down with Adrian in a Philly rowhouse instead of becoming a Cold War-winning heavyweight champ, that would’ve been a fine choice for his arc.

...only when pressed returned to the table, with no responses to our proposals.

This is not what good faith negotiations look like. We demand Sightline Media Group respond to our significant compromises by Friday, or we will escalate our actions further. 3/3

We met Monday morning with the intent to have collaborative discussions on our modest pay raise and 401k proposals (which would cost just $64,000) and move bargaining forward.

Unfortunately, after a short brief meeting, management chose to caucus for several hours and… 2/3

On Monday our union came to the table ready to bargain with management, six weeks after they last gave us a meeting. We sent them a counterproposal last week in which we compromised considerably on our very reasonable demands, expecting them to find some middle ground with us. 1/3

Defense News and Military Times journalists past and present came together yesterday to stand up for our union and fight for a fair contract! We made sure people at these events heard us and what we want.

Thanks so so much to everyone who helped out and provided moral support to us. #UnionStrong

Media has been hollowed out from the bottom and a lot of that was beat reporting and grassroots stuff. The top is left without much to support it. There are about a fifth as many reporters per capita compared to 25 years ago.

Will Bunch @willbunch.bsky.social · Aug 31

This is something I’ve thought about A LOT lately- the kinds of essential reporting that large traditional media has inexplicably stopped doing. For example, why aren’t there more reporters in the streets of DC, describing what it’s like? It’s truly dumbfounding

Investigative stuff is why I subscribe to independent media, including the handbasket. For me reason, large media with 1000x the resources will never do what I want, which is tell me what's what, who's who, and who's a little bitch.
