Legacy media's been protecting him for 50 years.

Not saying he deserves a trophy, but I’ll take a person that admits and learns from mistakes over one that does not.

Who wrote this?

Just working for an outlet such as the national inquirer that routinely publishes rank, manipulative slop, protects power, injures & deludes people is shameful & something to regret, afaic... Writing contracts that pay for silence is gross af. I just couldn't do it.

One of many. How many others took bribes and looked the other way? Hundreds? Thousands?

He could have simply applied the Categorical Imperative in the first place and avoided the whole mess.

Not regretting hard enough for me, though. I want PTSD-level regret from these kind of journalists.

Worse than shameful is growing a spine that’s made of jello.

He can fuck aaaaalllllll the way off

You did?

Piece of shit

So... Accessory after the fact, and co conspiracy. That's the charges *I* would bring. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thanks for sharing.

Why write this? Why say anything? Take your shame to the grave, Cameron.

Um... he's not doing anything differently now, though.

Whatever, Cameron. Thanks for the too little, too late mea culpa. It sounds like the author is letting himself off the hook in spite of self-importantly sharing his “epiphany.” Why bother? I agree: It’s SHAMEFUL with a tinge of shameless.

Cameron who?

"If I had not written those contracts, I could have slept at night."

Lol they will just attack this dude and move on.

Shameful? Stracher was fired from his job as a media lawyer for refusing to repeat his mistake. Now he runs a small firm that would probably be wiped out if the president of the US went after him, but here he is speaking out in the NYT about standing up to this admin; about ethics and courage. 👏👏👏

We actually need more voices like this rn: Hey, I was like you, chasing $$$ & power, I did shitty stuff too. But wouldn't you rather be a decent fucking human than ... whatever the people in this administration are? I don't think sm shaming is the way to encourage that behavior.

Pandering enabler.
