Not only that, they will continue to try and get newspapers to censor Ann's syndicated columns, or to drop them completely, apparently in conformance with their earnest support for freedom of speech (leftist speech only, that is).
The only reasonable explanation for this behavior is that it is Editor & Publisher's editor's pathetic attempt to get Ann to pay attention to him. Oh what he would sacrifice in order to get Ann to say anything, even just a single disparaging word, about his unimportant little rag...
I think it's similar to Munhausen by Proxy Syndrome only it's Coulter by Proxy Syndrome. Many at FR suffer from this syndrome. It's a pathetic attempt to bring attention to themselves by calling Ann mean and heartless.
