The truth is supposed to set you free. Trying to tell the truth about the union drive in the Courier-Journal newsroom got me banned as a regular op-ed contributor to Kentucky’s largest paper.
Apparently, the C-J hasn’t printed a word about the drive since it was announced on Aug. 30. (The Falls City broadcast media has been on the story.)
When I updated a Labor Day op-ed piece for the C-J with a single sentence about the drive, the sentence got edited out. After I called attention to the deletion in the comment section below my piece, I got sacked.
