Obama is promising a bailout to the WaPo, and the NYTimes and other papers, BUT…..they have to write only good things about “The One”. Dan Froomkin was a problem. He didn’t kiss the ground like MSNBC, or NBC or every other media fool.<br /> Hence, bye bye Dan. We don’t need no truth telling from Pravda…I mean the Washington Post. They need to be eligible for the new round of bailouts.</p> It is obvious when you think about it for one second.

Just to be sure I just went over to it and he has a column up dated June 19. So like WTF? Did he get fired? If fired, why is column still up? Seriously, I feel like I missed something big, like something was going on right in front of me but I somehow missed it.

They probably fired him “as of today”, the column was obviously written on the 18th or before(unless you think he ground it out in the wee hours of the 19th), it was a work product for the WP, so they ran it.
