Junket-roversy
Well it’s certainly nice that Alex has moderated his opinions since busting my chops for flying business class on a press trip. All things considered I would have much rather had Albo’s trip to Jamaica. Even a “big budget writer” like me has feelings, you know.
You should read Alex’s whole post, because it talks about how most peoples’ hands aren’t clean when it comes to taking freebies, despite codes of ethics proclaiming lily-whiteness. But I really think his kicker is important (fear of class and journalism talk!)
This is all my way of saying, leave Mike Albo alone, let him take his free trip. If you don’t want writers that take freebies, then you get Alex Kucynzski in the Critical Shopper column instead—someone who is so rich that the world is her freebie. What’s worse?
