Recently, Twitter suspended the account of a journalist whose opinions ruffled the feathers of NBC execs. NBC has captured the infamous attention of the world by delayed airing of the Olympic Games and its weak and inane coverage as posited by Guy Adams, a writer for The Independent.
Now NBC has whined and Twitter bowed; creating a far larger spectacle. The rationale for discipline is thin. Adams tweeted the business address of an NBC exec and called on viewers to voice their frustration.
As for whether the address is truly private as suggested by NBC, a search now will find the email address easily.
NBC should think it through next time it decides to kick a hornet's nest.
Journalists, after all, are known for their opinions.
Update: Twitter, has issued an apology and lifted the suspension from @guyadams' account. Props to Twitter for a wrong undone.

A Sign of Our Times
Swearing At The Office Becomes Commonplace.
The more we hear garbage, the more more likely it spills from our own lips. It is sad that we have devolved into a trash society whose language used to be relegated to "sailor talk."
Should we not aspire to be more? Better?
Let excellence be your standard; exceptionalism your watchword.

You didn't build that!
Out of context? The Obama campaign would have us believe that his words were taken out of context. It seems that his message was only too clear. Apparently, it takes a village to build a business too!
How naive we are to take the President's words at face value. How silly of us to have the audacity to believe that the creativity and the ingenuity of the American People alone could be enough to create a business.
The American Spirit sees things differently.
Our creativity builds a nation.
Our ingenuity is our own.
Our businesses are our own.
Our talent and the grace of God are responsible for American Success.
Your Talent. My Talent. Not the Government.
Americans are the engineers of our success. Nobody else.
Just. Americans.

The Return of Winston
'Looking Forward to the Bust of Winston Churchill Being in the Oval Office Again'
Mitt Romney values our allies and will show it in deed. Words are cheap. The bust, loaned to the U.S. after 9/11 should never have left. However, it was, no doubt a constant reminder to BarryO that he did not measure up.
A real leader has class and does not offend his allies.
