Salem Media, owner of the influential conservative outlet RedState, froze the site on Friday and dismissed many of its writers.
Bloggers were locked out of their accounts -- some just temporarily, while the cuts were made, and others permanently.
Erick Erickson, who founded the site 13 years ago, and left in 2015, tweeted about what he called the "mass firing" on Friday morning.

“Very sad to see, but not really surprising given Salem’s direction,” he wrote. “And, finally, after all these years, they’ve turned off my account.” - Eric Erickson

Sad. Red State is a well-established conservative site.

Red State is and has always been garbage and several of us predicted that Salem would not allow their brand to be tarnished forever.
Now Execrable Erick needs to be fired too.

Q. What’s the difference between conservatives and cannibals?
A. Cannibals generally don’t eat their own.

Red State is NEVER-Trump but as the article states:
"RedState writers work on contract and are paid based on the amount of traffic to their posts."
which means nobody goes there anymore. National Review beware.

Another group of Never Trumpers bites the dust.
Erickson career is on life support. 1st he got canned by Fox, his website has failed and his “radio show’ is 3 minutes of narcissistic self promotion interrupted ever 6 minutes by traffic/new/weather reports.
Habitually propagandizing against your own reader/view base tends to have this effect on your career prospects

Interesting—I did not know that.
Agree re National Review. They took their Never-Trumpism too far.

If people want to read someone who hates Trump plenty of liberal sites do it already.
RedState was redundant.
