Virginia paper drops bigoted, crackpot columnist
Couldn't happen to a nicer douchehole.
The Virginian-Pilot's editor, Marvin Lake, announced in a column responding to a reader's complaint about editorial balance at the paper that frothing psycho Michelle 'lock 'em all up!' Malkin had been dropped as a columnist because she was "too stridently anti-liberal."
Lake explained that "readers often took issue with her seemingly mean-spirited rantings and suggested that she be dropped. Well, she’s outta here."
Editorial writer Don Luzzatto told Lake: “I was really put off by her penchant for name-calling and ad hominem attack. I think we can do much better.”
Another editorial writer, Bronwyn Lance Chester, said: “I think she habitually mistakes shrill for thought-provoking and substitutes screaming for discussion. She’s an Asian Ann Coulter. I also think that, like Coulter, she says outrageous things just to get TV appearances and book deals. She’s the worst of what’s wrong with punditry today. She adds absolutely nothing to genuine political discourse.”
