No. I have never once been paid for saying something I believe. In fact, all of the things I strongly believe in, I say for free.

Okay so if someone said "hey here's like $1k so you can say it louder and more without having to slave away at a Walmart forever" would that make you a sellout? Or would it be the obvious thing to do?

"Creators in the program are not allowed to use any funds or resources that they receive as part of the program to make content that supports or opposes any political candidate or campaign without express authorization from Chorus in advance and in writing, per the contract."

Okay? And? They can support or oppose any candidate, just not using the specific money from this group? Wow how terrible man. Glad we are policing ever taking money from political groups ever in any way when fascists are in charge. Fuck you for real lmao fucking moron

Do you not get that means that they would then have to prove to Chorus that they didn't use any of the money they recieved to produce that content? Meaning Chorus would still have editorial oversight or at least influence in all political content?

I don't even know who chorus is. I was just speaking I general that writers deserve to get paid for doing the homework so that the rest of us can cheat off of em while trying to make sense of the world. Most jobs don't let us research the world. Clearly I should step out of this discussion.

What is this? What are you quoting at me?

My random guess is it’s the Details from the “Taylor Lorenz Wired piece” in @wired.com that is the central element of the thread, but I have language disorders and Dan only experience snippets of langie so I don’t know for sure.

Yeah. I can’t read but I copied the chick of text and put in in a web search and the @wired.com articel that is the point of the thread showed up so I think it’s a safe bet that that is the source … the article that the thread is about.

Hi, ha, it’s hard to go into details but my brain has yrainsiay issues where it didn’t operate right for windows. It will hopefully recover in minites two ours … as long as I avoid dressers it all gives bakc into the right spot. Thank you for your understaffing.

Either way, hope your weekend goes okay! None of this is worth ruining even a few minutes over and I hope you're doing alright!

Sounds like its legalese like you might find in a contract, like one you might sign in exchange for money. Complete with strings attached.

I think the problem arises when they say: this week's agenda is X. Can you work that into your pieces this week? At that point you're not a journalist, you're a campaign asset. And that's fine, but they need to be honest about it.
