Story at News Busters. Remember, it’s not writing the sick thing that’s bad, it’s pointing it out.
Caleb Howe fired on same pretext. Congratulations, AOL, you just became relevant again, as a prime example of journalistic douchebaggery.

Journalism in a nutshell.
oh. The dumbass AOL hoochie who shitcanned Tommy is whining and mewling that her dirty socialist Rock God didn’t go to bat enough for teh poor poor muslim womens. You think Melinda Henneberger might could be an AOL dirty socialist propaganda whore? I do.
rape, assassinating bush these folks are crazed like fuckin’ obama or osama
Huh, here I thought AOL had shriveled up into a tiny mote and blew away one day, never to be found again.
Does Hef have naked pictures in compromising positions of everyone in the news business or something? If a republican looks cross eyed at someone it’s 24/7 news saturation, but whenever liberals are associated with a pretty significant news story they all decide it’s not something they want to address and then they start muzzling all their writers all nazi style.
What a bunch of pussies.

Huh. Suddenly a progressive woman cares about the treatment of Muslim woman. Sheesh.
This is Tommy’s blog what got fired. It links to his Flickr account where you can see a lovely picture of Shelley Hack. I’m vaguely recollecting this guy being that guy Cap’n Ed interviewed at CPAC and Cap’n Ed said he was a very cool guy for a dirty socialist and Cap’n Ed is quite sensible when he’s not having one of his spells.
Here is Cap’n Ed and he’s very lucid and you can see him interview Tommy C.
I think Hef spends most of his day trying to remember where he left the Viagra.
Someone got fired for criticizing the hatefuck article? Are you fucking kidding me?
Journalism has nothing to do with it, it good old conflict of interest: “Has the fact that AOL’s parent company, Time Warner, has a business relationship with Playboy may have affected their editorial decisions? After all Time Warner is a major national distributor of Playboy TV through their cable company.”
Old Hugh* may seem like he is a lovable old horndog, but he definitely knows how to hold a grudge.
Heffner of course, although you could say the same about Hewitt.
Never quote or write about something that the left wishes to hide under the rug. Especially don’t do so accurately, in context and verbatim.
The list of the most important bloggers in the entire world!
It is actually more telling who is NOT on the list.
That douchebag DAve never paid up on his bet yesterda. SHOCKA
AOL is being spun off and the cable unit is already spun off. TW still has a good bit of interest in it – probably over 50% I think still, but TW units have never been notably synergistic or cooperative, especially not AOL cause the rest of Time Warner hates them. It doesn’t quite add up. I don’t see the Playboy TV, which is a sort of ppv thing I think, saying hey we’ll not want to be carried on your stupid cable system where we make our monies if you don’t shut the hell up about that douchebag writer in the Playboy magazine unit which is not our unit but we are very very supportive of them.
Something else is going on.
What I’d guess is going on is Melinda Henneberger or Margot Hemmingway or whatever her name is, is just as governed in every respect by her ideology as anyone you’ld care to meet. Or as that wretched Rosa Brooks person, say.
AOL == irrelevant.
Caleb Howe just tweeted that he got fired too. For defending Christopher on his own blog.

Joe,
Conflicts of interest and grudges are journalism. It isn’t any thing else. Probably never was.
Who is this Howe character?
Finally back up, Caleb Howe’s missing post (with the screenshots).
dash, here you go. If you scroll down you’ll find screencaps of the original Playboy article that got all this stuff going.
Heh. Quick Draw!
Wait what am I missing here what did Howe get fired from if he’s at redstate? Dang handhelds not good for intertubes link clicking. Quick draw was sick I think they invented twitter for handhelds.
Howe was also a politics writer for AOL until earlier this evening.
If I was running this blog, I’d put Dan on Shakes, thor on Marlowe, and Jeff, batting third, writes an essay on population drift as an odd genetic analogy for his overarching interpretative theme. Please to write an essay.
Okay. Go!
Ehhh.
You can never go home again.
Now I know there really were 11 and I didn’t miss one between #10 and #12.
that was some good advice you gave him there, happyfeet.
Thanks! It’s these whippersnappers with their crazy ideas, maggie. It hurts my heart that so often they have to learn the hard way.
alls I know is tommy set Treacher off a few nights ago, cause xtopher didn’t approve of this joke.
These two firings will be fun to recall when some troll comes in whining about “censorship” if their commentary at someone’s blog gets deleted or is not allowed…
Slightly off topic, but if anyone wants to help Tommy Christopher or Caleb Howe out they’ll hire them to do proofreading at Newbusters:
Who’s “the?”
I think the anaphorical antecedent thinger is AOL NEWS is how I read that.
That was a good joke I thought about the Empire State Building cause the thing about Barack Obama’s skeezey woman is that keeping it real is what she is a lot averse to. Because she’s a farce.
What do you expect out a twisted operation like Time-Warner…
I’d sell the stock, if I still had any.
Megyn unloads on Playboy.
Why that AOL writer was fired.
What is this “Newbusters” you refer to in your comment about needing proofreaders, Dipshit Dude?
That’s more from that AOL weirdo Henneberger that fired the Tommy person. AOL is as rife with the Obamaporn as NPR but this woman is just nasty.
I don’t understand the fuss. This “hate fuck” thing has been going on a long time. I recall reading “Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan” in early 1980s.
[…] of ethics and sweeping attempts to censor the news was picked up by Hot Air, Michelle Malkin, Protien Wisdom, Howard Kurtz at The Washington Post, USA Today, Lucianne, Conservative Grapevine, The Huffington […]
That’s it.
I’m not reading the articles in that magazine any more.
