Thanks Beave Meister.
Drew Johnson, the editorial page editor of the Chattanooga Times Free Press was fired after 14 months on the job... "It was not the original headline approved for publication, and Johnson violated the normal editing process when he changed the headline. The newspaper’s decision to terminate Johnson had nothing to do with the content of the editorial... The Free Press page has often printed editorials critical of the president and his policies." Via his (unverified) Twitter account, Johnson disputes that he was terminated for doing what he claims is standard procedure...

What if he had made the exact same headline change when Bush was president?

A promotion?
A private parking spot?
A bonus?

This has Valerie Jarrett stink all over it.

Obama’s media had their chance to raise hell when they were spyed on by holder. They stayed quiet. The news was reported, but they didn’t seem to mind.
Shame of it is that when the purges begin, they won’t do anything about it.
The media pigs will willingly walk into the slaughterhouse praising the butcher.

‘This newspaper will not permit violations of its standards’

This is also dishonoring the memory of the great Johnny Paycheck. If he were alive today he just might bust this chickensh*t editor in the mouth.
