<p>When the grape boycott occurred, I was up there with the United
Farm Workers. I'm for decency for all, no exceptions. The politic
of Murdock et al leaves me cold. That my words puts money in his
pocket for his advocacy/promotion of political ideals I'm opposed
to, leaves me also cold. Corporate advocacy is one thing, but
political advocacy quite another. <br>
</p>
<p>I've done research for Israeli companies/entities not affiliated
with the Israeli government (so far as I know). Same goes for
Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, Singaporean, and other corps/limited
companies/etc. Doesn't bother me. I've turned down work on (not
rare) occasion from organizations whose donor activity to causes I
don't believe in (Prop 8 as an example) and political candidates
(either/any party) I don't believe in. <br>
</p>
<p>Working for Fox News seems like a dramatically bad idea to me.
Fox & the WSJ are aligned and logic dictates that one benefits
the other-- follow the money through Murdock pockets into the
White House, as an example. <br>
</p>
<p>But I'm also the same kind of guy that became a vegetarian
because I don't see a distinction between cattle and cats and dogs
and parakeets, and the concept of 18 chickens in a 28" cubical
cage is an anathema to me. I stood in line at a checkout at a
grocery today behind nine others because I refuse to use the 24
robotic checkout stations, preferring to benefit the poor
cashier's job. He's the son of a neighbor, a nice guy with a
family to support. Supporting Kroger's shareholders and the
burghers of Wall Street is not relevant to me.<br>

<div>I work for Verizon, which owns TechCrunch. If you going to
have those kinds of moral filters about your employers,
chances are you are not going to get much work in this
business. The corporate tentacles have pretty much reached
into every aspect of our business.</div>

<p>Is there a moral question in working for a Murdock
publication? Or is it too altruistic of me to believe that
writing for a publication whose editorial bias is the
nearly opposite of mine is immoral? It's not that I'm
anti-capitalist, rather, I find their political leanings
nearly the polar opposite of my own. I wouldn't take their
money.</p>

Journal seeks an experienced and
innovative journalist to cover the
technology and technology companies that
are changing business.<br>
<br>
The rise of new tools and business models
like machine learning, cloud-computing,
and subscription-based software is
reshaping not only the
multitrillion-dollar IT sector but other
industries, from aerospace to agriculture.<br>
<br>
This reporter will find distinctive
stories that illuminate these changes and
the companies and personalities driving
them. At the core of this coverage are a
handful of important companies, chiefly
Microsoft, Oracle and Salesforce.<br>

We are looking for someone capable of
dominating coverage of them -- breaking
important scoops of fact and also
conceiving and executing agenda-setting
enterprise pieces. Knowledge of the
subject matter is a bonus though not
required.<br>
