Did White House Have Something To Do With Chattanooga Editor's Firing?
Investors.com ^ | August 2, 2013 | Editorial

Media: A Tennessee newspaper fired an editor over a hard-hitting editorial denouncing President Obama's jobs plan on the very day the president came to town to tout it. This has the odor of White House revanchism.

ngbfThe Chattanooga Times Free Press insists that its firing of Drew Johnson for the title of his editorial, "Take Your Jobs Plan And Shove It, Mr. President," was unrelated to content, and merely a case of an insubordinate editor changing his headline to a riff on a song by Nashville singer Johnny PayCheck over another headline. Frankly, it's hard to believe.

For one thing, it's odd in the news industry to fire someone over a headline that could easily be reversed on the Internet, if that's the issue. And it's strange for a newspaper to be angry about a headline that must have drawn hundreds of thousands of hits to the paper's website, with a prominent link on the Drudge Report.

Would they prefer a dull headline over one that readers wanted to click?

Lastly, Johnson said he changed headlines all the time at the last minute, something common in the industry.

They can’t do it due to the logistics required to kill or imprison 30 million Americans.

As much as they want us in camps and ovens, 50 of them will die for every one of us.

We, as a collective, are far more adamant about defending our homes and families than any DHS lackeys can withstand. Plus, we will have seasoned combat veterans on our side should DHS go North Korean on all of us.

Yes, the logistics would be almost utterly impossible, but I am sure there are scum sucking liberals out there, having wet dreams, trying to figure out how they might do it.

It would take roughly 2 billion or so DHS jackboots to arrest or kill 30 million conservatives.

Even if they use 150 million to attack the Country, that would be 5 of them for every 1 of us, which is just fine. Those odds are very manageable.

The Fourth Estate bosses have become 4th class sycophants.
