I just became the first person in the history of newspapers to be fired for writing a paper's most-read article. http://t.co/BPOTzihZoT

More: “…did anyone from the Obama Administration or the Democratic Party call about this headline before Johnson was fired?”
Frankly he shouldn’t give a damn,he can add to Obama’s growing list of unemployed…..
It might be noted as well that the NYT has sold the Boston Globe, a paper it paid 1.1 billion $ for(“billion”, with a “b”), for $70 million (… with an “m”)….
That sounds like a cash run to me.
I wonder what the nyts burn rate is? Will Obama bail it out (too big to fail)? What will happen to the left if the MSM goes tit$ up?
Writing the truth in a newspaper is very radical and irregular.
People could have read it and died.
Not good. Not good at all.
Bet that gave their insurers a scare.
It’s actually a complete loss of the NY Time’s investment. The Times retains the pension liabilities, which are more than their selling price …

As for Drew Johnson, it does seem the publisher / his former employer is enjoying the decline.
Did dude hold gun to the publisher’s head and force him to publish it? ‘Cause I don’t see how you get fired for writing something that the paper knowingly published.
Maybe there’s something better awaiting Drew Johnson. I hope so. This is the way things are going these days: Tell the truth and get it in the kisser.
‘Reminds me of Someone Who lived and died 2000 years ago for not only telling the truth but BEING the Truth.
“…did anyone from the Obama Administration or the Democratic Party call about this headline before Johnson was fired?” – did Stalin know about the people murdered during his reign as First Secretary of the Communist Party of the USSR?
In regard to the latter, Simon Sebag Montefiore, in his book “In the Court of the Red Tsar”, says that no one was ever as careful, as thoughtful, as interested in his murders as was Stalin.
For the Foulness in Washington, public relations and agitprop is everything.
He’s probably scheduled for a deep probe by the IRS. Hope he kept all his receipts.
Re Boston Globe purchased for $70 million. Since ’93 when N.Y.Times purchased for $1.1 billion, the Times have systematically extracted more than that amount, as shareholders, if you examine the Financial data. Still, examining the times financials does not show a healthy future.
I fail to see how this little snippet from TN has anything to do with the Boston Globe story.
Sticking to the actual post and topic … the most illuminating part is comments from the lefticles.
Perfect tools … and proud of it.
Know your enemies baby!
They called this guy a racist and a hater (in the comments) for writing an article that has nothing to do with race? In effect shutting down the conversation and applying media / political pressure for this guy and his non racial opinions to be fired as a racist..
National Socialism is alive and well.. The free press is free to kiss Obama’s ass or else?
There will be no stepping back from the brink of economic destruction in America.. They will have to bottom out and then fight their way out of their own political quagmire.. If there is a plan besides the Detroit model its not apparent..
The American dollar backed by 5000 Nukes and 150 million government workers 🙁
A very deep probe from the Gestapo (IRS) is in order.. In fact a deep probe for his friends and family as well to punish them for associating with him.. Deny his unemployment insurance.. Revoke his passport (cant let him get away).. Make him do community service naked in Detroit after dark on the 29th of the month..
That will teach him to bad mouth the Führer..
