So Why is Mark Steyn No Longer at National Review?

So Why is Mark Steyn No Longer at National Review? I didn't even find him in the contributing editors section. I do go to www.steynonline.com but reading Steyn was a good 40% of why I subscribe to NR.

Climate change has nothing to do with why Steyn was sacked. Steyn wrote a column that repeated a Bob Hope joke. The Editor said it was evil and homphobic and he didn’t want Steyn spewing his homophobia at NR.

Put another way, NR is staffed by timid, salaried gopee eunuchs while Steyn is a human Tasmanian Devil, a conservative dynamo with balls like church bells.
So to speak.

Never seen so many `comments removed by moderator’ on any thread I’ve ever read on FR.

“Mark Steyn is a vicious homophobe.” So, what’s the big deal, at NR or anywhere else? I don’t get it.

I like DeMille too-—”Plum Island” was my favorite.

OK. Since there were several in a row on all of them, I thought it was a back and forth going on. If it was one dude posting repetitious crap I can see the deletions. I’m just a curious dude.

1. Steyn wrote something negative about Global Warmist Michael Mann in National Review.

2. Michael Mann sued Steyn and National Review for slander.

3. National Review wanted to settle the suit. Steyn wanted to pursue a counter-suit.

4. They agreed to go their separate ways.

Well that clears it up. NR is no McCLeans is it?

Steyn’s eyes, but not his ears.

Cute!

Really a Bob Hope Joke?

I am not sure about this. NR had an interesting column on transgenders recently that said the things no one else is willing to say.
