“We are confident that our employment practices comply with all applicable laws, and we remain committed to maintaining the highest standards in our ethical, journalistic and employment practices.”<p>Oh, please.  The overly broad non-compete demonstrates a complete lack of ethical standards in your employment process.  You&#x27;re really just trying to say you are just as scummy, but no more scummy, than the prevailing standard for employment practices in the U.S.  Which is a standard largely devoid of any ethical considerations whatsoever.
