I suggest you and other commenters take a few minutes to read the illuminating "motion for sanctions" immediately below the news story. Scroll past all the legalese to excerpts from the Randi Bjornstad text messages on Page 14 lines 23-26 and Page 15 lines 1-8. As a veteran journalist and president of the Eugene Newspaper Guild, she (not "he") should have known better. It's clear from Bjornstad's texts to Markstrom that she gave her co-worker incredibly bad advice to destroy email evidence in a lawsuit they were planning to pursue. Bjornstad should be held accountable, if not by her employer then by her colleagues in the Eugene Newspaper Guild or the union's national office.
