Tennessee Newspaper Opinion Editor Fired Over Headline Critical of Obama
He Gives Us the Inside Story — The Blaze
Aug. 1, 2013
The opinion page editor at the Chattanooga Times Free Press has been fired over a headline of an editorial that was highly critical of President Barack Obama’s new “jobs plan.”

Drew Johnson, the now-former opinion page editor at the Free Press, announced his firing on Twitter Thursday and later explained the situation in an exclusive interview with TheBlaze.

Obama and his Brownshirts have been busy. Quite a good headline but modest really.
The update statement from the paper suggests it was “rude”. Really?
I think rude and crude describes what this tyrant and his war on energy are doing to this country. And this only proves it. Another brick in the wall of silence.
Once these media shitheads figure out THEY are expendable tools in Obama’s box, MAYBE they will realize the mistake they made in blindly supporting the cheesedick. I hold little hope for that happening, given the stupidity of most media people.

Bull,
I saw this guy on Fox telling his story of getting fired. What a shame. Here we have a man who dares to tell the truth (on a conservative allegedly newspaper) and he gets fired for this. It does send chills up one’s spine.
I’m trying to catch up. I have been pretty down over Lucie’s death and Ron being so sick.
