“That’s an understatement.”
“He rang you?”
“Last night…”
“Said he’d dig up the dirt.”
“Who’d listen to him, only a go between. I wouldn’t worry.”
“What’s happening at your end?”
“It’s not pretty. ”
“Bet there’s a few running for cover.”
“No one’s making eye contact, if you know what I mean.”
“What’s next.”
“Nothing. We put a muzzle on it. Keep your head down and your mouth shut. It’ll blow over.”
“D’ya think?”
“They’ve no teeth. Just say nothin.”
“But the media…”
“Like I said, head down, mouth shut. Their hands are tied.”
“Who tied them?”
“That’d be telling!”
“Jeez you’re a fair man!”
“No flies on me, and if there are, they’re paying rent.”
Censorship is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body. It can be done by governments and private organizations or by individuals. It occurs in a variety of different contexts for a variety of reasons. It may or may not be legal. Many countries provide strong protections against censorship by law, but none of these protections are absolute and it is frequently necessary to balance conflicting rights in order to determine what can and cannot be censored.
Corporate censorship is the process by which editors in corporate media outlets intervene to disrupt the publishing of information that portrays their business or business partners in a negative light, or intervene to prevent alternate offers from reaching public exposure.
Political censorship ccurs when governments hold back information from their citizens. This is often done to exert control over the populace and prevent free expression that might foment rebellion.

“F*** off for yourself you f***in’ egit. Didn’t cover your tracks, did you? The first rule of business – cover your arse. Don’t blame me for your stupidity.”

“I’d like to see you prove it.”
“I f****** will.”
“And how? Do you think I was stupid enough to leave a trail? You’re a joke. That’s what you are. You served your function. Bring it on and see what happens.”
“They’re camped outside my door. My wife can’t bring the kids to school! They-”

“I’ll end you. I WILL!”
“You’re all wind and piss like a young crow.”

Integrity is a concept of consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations, and outcomes. In ethics, integrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one’s actions. Integrity can be regarded as the opposite of hypocrisy, in that integrity regards internal consistency as a virtue, and suggests that parties holding apparently conflicting values should account for the discrepancy or alter their beliefs.
The word “integrity” stems from the Latin adjective integer (whole, complete). In this context, integrity is the inner sense of “wholeness” deriving from qualities such as honesty and consistency of character. As such, one may judge that others “have integrity” to the extent that they act according to the values, beliefs and principles they claim to hold.
Honesty refers to a facet of moral character and connotes positive and virtuous attributes such as integrity, truthfulness and straightforwardness along with the absence of lying, cheating or theft. Honesty is revered in many cultures and religions. Honesty means being truthful, trustworthy, loyal, fair and sincere. Honesty also means straight forward conduct.(Wikipedia)
