Elon Musk recently purchased Twitter to protect free speech and stand up for American values. Why, then, does he continue to cozy up to one of the most oppressive, undemocratic regimes in the world? The South China Morning Post reports that world's richest man was featured prominently at a space exploration event at the Communist Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C. Unable to appear in person, Musk pre-recorded a space travel video that played on three large screens for the embassy audience. This is a big problem. It wasn’t some feel-good, inspirational video for kids. It was a video for a...

After the Washington Times quickly disassociated from him "for saying a scandal may be true", Johnson seemed to still be a class act. He tweeted that he respected them and had enjoyed working with them. He did not understand though why they would do this via Twitter instead of a phone call or even an email. However, now there are attempts to smear and discredit him, claiming they have not had a relationship with him in over a year which he soon replied to providing proof of being paid just last month.

Washington Times Fires Writer For Confirming Cruz Scandal March 26, 2016 Conservative news paper The Washington Times has fired one of its writers after he confirmed that the Ted Cruz mistress bomb is partially correct. “COMING CLEAN: From what I know, at least 2 of the women named as Cruz mistresses by the National Enquirer are accurate,” tweeted Drew Johnson yesterday, in response to the explosive mistress bomb scandal rocking the presidential campaign of Republican Ted Cruz.

An editor at the Chattanooga Times Free Press has been fired after adding a pithy headline to a piece critical of President Obama's stimulus plan. Author Drew Johnson announced on Twitter that he had been fired: I just became the first person in the history of newspapers to be fired for writing a paper's most-read article.

Johnson has admitted the headline was his idea but claims headlines are changed routinely. A statement published by...

Contrary to statements made by former Free Press editor Drew Johnson and national media reports, Johnson was told on multiple prior occasions not to make material changes to editorials or headlines once they were approved by the editor responsible for the page. On Monday night, Johnson changed the approved headline on his Tuesday editorial from, “Keep your jobs plan to yourself, Mr. President: Your policies have harmed Chattanooga enough already” to “Take your jobs plan and shove it, Mr. President: Your policies have harmed Chattanooga enough.” However, he waited until his editor had left for the day before changing the...

Not even a reprimand first, huh? Here’s hoping, at least, that some White House water-carrier like Media Matters threatened the paper with a boycott before it acted. It’s too depressing to think that the publisher might have canned him on his own initiative, without any pressure from the pretend-outrage industry, just because Johnson got a step too close to a Johnny Paycheck song title in writing about Bambi. Alternate headline stolen from Ace: “‘Free Press’ not so free.” Free Press editor Drew Johnson has been terminated after placing a headline on an editorial outside of normal editing procedures.Johnson’s headline, “Take...

Drew Johnson, the editorial page editor of the Chattanooga Times Free Press was fired after 14 months on the job for publishing an editorial with a headline that read: "Take your jobs plan and shove it, Mr. President." The editorial ran Tuesday, the same day Obama visited Chattanooga. The powers-that-be posted a notice Thursday explaining the firing: The headline was inappropriate for this newspaper.
