Comrade Harold Meyerson Is Fired For The Lack of Readers: Washington Post

Politico reports:
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.

"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.



Comrade Martin is upset that Comrade Meyerson will not be cranking out regular socialist columns hiding under the liberal label.
