Journalists, liberals and many in the political and labor worlds — including presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders — expressed regret on Thursday over the ending of Harold Meyerson's weekly column in the Washington Post.Comrade Martin is upset that Comrade Meyerson will not be cranking out regular socialist columns hiding under the liberal label.
"There are few progressive voices in corporate media. @HaroldMeyerson is one of the best. His insights will be sorely missed by Post readers," Sanders tweeted on Thursday.
"Fred Hiat [sic] by firing @HaroldMeyerson reminded everybody that Fred Hiatt still runs the Post editorial page even after marching us into Iraq," tweeted The Huffington Post's Ryan Grim.
"Hope this is not true. @HaroldMeyerson is a well-sourced, deeply-read liberal voice," wrote the New York Times' Jonathan Martin.
