Comments on: I no longer work at NBC Miami http://carlosmiller.com/2009/11/02/i-no-longer-work-at-nbc-miami/ It's a First Amendment Right Sun, 26 Jun 2011 02:03:25 +0000 hourly 1 By: Rusty Carr http://carlosmiller.com/2009/11/02/i-no-longer-work-at-nbc-miami/#comment-22014 Rusty Carr Wed, 14 Apr 2010 18:07:21 +0000 http://carlosmiller.com/?p=8477#comment-22014 Well, yet one more time we learn that age old lesson that "life is NOT fair" and at times it can be down right nasty. However, I've done my part by donating to your legal defense fund, and it was not a paltry $5!! Here's wish'n you the best of luck in finding another job in these tough times.

What you do on your own blog is your business. I'm sorry this happened to you, but surely a new door will open. And I'm sorry Bill called your boss, instead of settling this with you mano-a-mano. You're right, it's like playground politics. I'm glad I'm a freelancer. Nobody can get me fired! What’s up with this ridiculous snitching? What you do on your own blog is your business.

Your writing is refreshing because as Rush Limbaugh said in the early years of his national show, "Words mean things." It's now taken a new direction which I classify, "Words plus actions mean things." Greenbaum of the St. Louis Post Dispatch is proof. He didn't like the word. So he took action. And a guy/gal is out of work because of it, and didn't commit a federal/state/local statute law violation. Carlos, keep up the good fight in your area. And good luck to you personally and wish you much success.

Jay Leno is death at 10PM, getting beat by the FX channel of all things. This means less viewers stay on for the news. If and when Comcast takes over NBC, you can be sure there will be some shakeups. So if it helps, NBC is in fourth place among the major networks and slowly spiraling down the toilet. It's been that way for a while now.

I don't know if you remember a guy named Mike Watkiss who was a TV reporter in Phoenix when we worked there. He told me something I would never forget. "Anybody who is worth a damn in this business has been fired several times." He's right. B,

The RRA fiasco is crazy but it's not surprising. Everything catches up to you eventually. I wrote about him a few weeks ago for NBC Miami when he threatened Bob Norman of the Broward New Times. http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/politics/Bigwig-Attorney-Threatens-Journalist-Over-Articles-59130032.html I actually know <em>a couple</em> of guys who are attorneys there. Good people. It looks as if Rothstein acted alone so I hope the firm survives. Thanks Madhatter.

Really, though, ese traje te quedaba pequeno (that suit was too small for you). Come on, you were actually out there reporting for the site. It's a website, not the New York Times (and you might even outdo some of the work produced there). Yes, Carlos, you are arrogant and crass, but if that disqualified people from holding jobs then unemployment would be a lot higher than it currently is. Why don't you go out and report for the Herald, or maybe the New Times? You could really elevate the quality of either product. By the way, have you been following the RRA fiasco? Your friend and legal consultant is/was employed there. Talk about being blindsided. Carlos,
