It doesn't make sense to see international condemnation if you can't, as a reader, see the very fundamentals of the controversy.

I really thought I would be able to get my job back after I explained my point of view.

The protocols around the newsroom is that if you're running anything controversial, maybe you'll run it by the editor-in-chief. But I am the editor-in-chief. I just ran it by the opinions editor?Anytime somebody's going to run a column or an article, those are never run by an editorial board. The precedent set up in the newsroom is what I followed.

A lot of people don't know what to do with their dog. This gives you something positive and proactive.

You're the leader. They're the follower.

They respect the idea that we have asked them to do something.
