Did the Washington Post fire a long-time editor for speaking truth to power? Or did she lose her job because she couldn't do basic research before smearing the victim of a political assassination? Or worse?
YMMV, but the way Karen Attiah frames the argument in her newly launched Substack certainly looks sus, as the kids say these days. It takes her an awfully long time to get to the catalyst for her termination .... and for good reason, as it turns out:
What "work" would that be? Well, it turns out to be the work of slagging Charlie Kirk in the immediate aftermath of his murder. To be fair, a number of journalists also believe that to be their "work." One can perhaps understand her confusion on this point.
Except those actually aren't Charlie's "words on record." Attiah sources this from an article rushed out by The Guardian less than 24 hours after Kirk's death that attempted to argue sotto voce that Kirk had it coming. Even if one grants the Guardian the presumption that they took his words in context, Attiah changed the quote the Guardian provided at the link she used as a reference

See ya, b*tch!
How much is in her “Go Fund Me” account?
Hate speech. Not covered by the first amendment. As the Left kept telling us during the Biden years.
Hey Yogi! Check this out … 
HA HA!!!
Or perhaps “other” accounts?
So she makes up quotes? Whoa - that'd bimbo level stuff..
Her job is to write accurate articles.
She didn't. I assume because she was lazy but it might have been because she has no pride in her work.
I bs on the interwebs. And I check things I am not sure about using primary sources because I do not like looking like a fool in public. Just did it the other day with a Churchill quote I was sure I knew. Yeah, I didn't. Close but no cigar.
She does not care and with her actions has thrown not only her work but the work of everyone at her paper in doubt.
Although, to be fair, it is the Washington < BLEEP>. So their work already is in doubt but her actions do not help.
So they decided to make a small sacrifice to try to regain their public credibility. Good luck with that.
She slandered him, by taking his words out of context to create rage. She was justly fired, because that is not what reporters are supposed to do.
Well, she did one thing right.
Burning a copy of the Compost is always the right answer.
but Mike Johnson is going to do NOTHING to Omar for her disgusting behavior
Lies to Power
skank...
83 IQ + taught she’s entitled.
John Deere why?
She’s not the only “journalist” who smeared him that way.

If what Charlie said over the years was so horrible and divisive, why didn’t they report on those statements then? They wait until he’s gone and can’t defend himself to bring up those “quotes.” That leaves his TPUSA family to try to defend his words, except they’re in such shock and pain that they don’t have the strength to do it. It’s up to his supporters to try to set the record straight while exposing these evil journalists any way we can, mainly getting them fired for their egregious lies.
I can’t believe some of these losers were hired in the first place.
