Monica, thank you so much for sharing that story. It's a poignant example of exactly what we're discussing, and I think it drives the point home well.
There are good people, like our own cherished Monica
working for corporations which much follow the directives of the people who hold more power. These people realize that things aren't right, that something should be done to reveal or stop a situation, but the power isn't in their hands; it's in the hands of their supervisor's supervisor's supervisor's supervisor.
One of the most disturbing things is the fact that in America, public companies (like the news corporations) are obligated by law to protect their shareholders investments above everything else. Above the environment, above the well-being of the public, above integrity.
