discretion is the better part of valor 

A phrase meaning to not let courage outweigh good judgment; is the potential outcome worth the risk?
Kid (10 years old): I really wanted to punch that boy for what he said dad, but I thought his parents would probably sue us, so I didn’t.
Dad: Wise decision, son. Discretion is the better part of valor. I’m proud of you. What’d the kid say that made you so mad?
Kid: He said mom was a whore.
Dad: What?!... Why didn’t you beat the shit outta that kid!!

doorman discretion 

That immense amount of power conferred upon one without commensurate knowledge, experience, or understanding, such that, in effect, the village idiot ends up holding the keys to the U.S. nuclear arsenal, or worse, won't let you into your own office building so you can finish working on that one document that will define the rest of your career and is due tomorrow morning.
I apologize for not filing that brief brief with the supreme court on time, but I was the victim of doorman discretion.

Viewer discretion is advised 

The modern-day version of the "ladies and children not admitted" pre-performance advisory-message used by The King and The Duke to lure a larger audience to come and see their pathetically-mediocre shenanigans.
Nobody will ever admit it officially/publicly, of course, but everyone secretly knows that posting da "Viewer discretion is advised" cliché actually has da exact opposite effect for most people --- it makes them all da miore fired up to watch said media! And then of course after it's all over, like as not da viewers bewilderedly glance at each other and say, "That's ALL?! They considered THAT to be too "mature" for younger folks?!?? Why, that wasn't even as bad as da stuff they show middle-school kind in da couyrse of their lessons on history, social studies, science, chemistry, and stuff! Zheeeeesh.... da producers musta given it that rating just to lure people to watch their insipid mundane crap!"

Editorial discretion

No. That's not why you're not doing it. You're doing it to screw me out of the recourse I would have access to and you have already reported on it. You have reported on the AI copyright sandal. You omitted part of the story to screw me and now Suchir Balaji is dead. The immigrant you are talking that you theoretically want in the country... Killed himself... Because he tried to do the right thing and actively prevented him from doing that.
Hym "It's also the fact that you're a Jew. I mean, it seems to be the case that Jews are just actively bad people. Right? Like, you're a Jew. You're dogshit. Therefore, Jews are dogshit. It must be the case. So, no. Don't try to blame editorial discretion for your Judaism. You wanted to screw me and now Suchir Balaji is dead because you buried a story to screw me. You're a murderer. You killed him by doing that. You are the direct cause of the guys death. You will be the cause of MY dead. If I take a kid with me you will be the cause of THEIR death. Give up what little control of my life you have. You are not better than me. You are worse."
