It might be a good service for nyt, propublica, etc to do a big compilation of all the high profile public servants who have been fired or resigned after refusing to do something illegal. A sort of what this past year would have been like if it was all at once, like Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre

Again, as a great reporter, one would think Baron would see more clearly. He isn’t afraid of Trump. He has been unleashed by Trump to present his real views. And those views may not be the same as they were a decade ago, but that irrelevant. Why wouldn’t a billionaire be embracing Trump’s agenda?

Everyone knows the Washingon Post is in turmoil, bleeding subscribers, journalists, reader respect. But if the boss is asking how to attract Trump supporters that means self-respect is eroding too. For me, at least, that's a step further than I thought we were at. www.semafor.com/newsletter/0...
From an item by Ben Smith for Semafor. "The Post’s former deputy democracy editor, Mary Jo Murphy, quietly quit in response to owner Jeff Bezos killing its presidential endorsement. She wrote about it on a Facebook page for New York Times alumni: “Quislings are inside the house that Grahams and Bradlees, Woodwards and Bernsteins built.” She recalled that CEO Will Lewis had asked a reporter she managed “what the Post could do to attract Trump supporters.” ('I dunno,' she wrote, 'lie to them?'”)
