Too liberal to, you know, actually contain any liberals:
Daily Kos: Froomkin "run its course", unlike other Post dinosaurs
Daily Kos: Froomkin "run its course", unlike other Post dinosaurs
POLITICO learned today that the Washington Post has terminated its
relationship with liberal columnist/blogger Dan Froomkin. Froomkin
authored the "White House Watch" blog and was told today that the blog
had essentially run its course. [...] "I was told that it had been determined that my White House Watch blog wasn’t 'working' anymore," said Froomkin.
Sure, Froomkin was one of the Post's most popular columnists, but so what? The Post has to make sure it manages its resources and give its readers the most value, always looking forward and reassessing its offerings to keep the site fresh.
And yes, Froomkin was a casualty, given how staid and crusty he had become. Totally unlike David Broder, who has only been at the Post since 1966, or Charles Krauthammer, consistently wrong since 1985. And is there anyone more relevant and hip with it than elitist "liberal" Richard Cohen? He's only been at the Post since 1976, so he remains fresh and has plenty of course to run. And any dude who wears a bow tie, like George Will, is the epitome of relevant, even if he has been using his Post real estate since 1979 to simply make shit up.
