If they are toxic, maybe note that in your reporting more so people stop blaming you for the bad conduct of the people you're reporting on. If on the other hand, you want to be like so many modern reporters and be a spokesperson for your chosen cause - then too bad. You're now an advocate and not a real journalist. Take your hits or step aside.And that's a good reason to factor in mental health support when you enter into such a line of business. But you don't ask the subject of your reporting to pay for it. You ask your employer (self if self employed) to cover it.These people need to start treating WoTC as the subject they are reporting on, not as their employer.Yeah. Exactly. And it's both toxic for the influencers and bad for the public wanting actual reporting. However it is also nurtured by a public that is more willing to click on gushing opinion pieces than actual reporting...</blockquote>
