Good. Maybe he'll sleaze over to the local alternate rag, the Fort Worth Weekly. They pay about $150 an article, which is about $150 too much for this jerk's ramblings).

Despite the firing, McClinden's screed is an accurate reflection of the base assumptions of most reporters.
All this firing will do is make some reporters more resentful of conservatives.

reporter Steve McLinden sent a sneering responseIn related news, McLinden is now claiming that his sneering response was in fact ghost-written by Maureen Dowd.

He will list this as an "accomplishment" on his resume he sends to the NY Times.
This guy really has an envy problems, I'd say.

Jim Witt assured the students that the reporter's message "does not represent in any way the opinion or practices of our newspaper," That is a lie. The Startle-gram was just P.O.'ed that one of their junior socialists came out of the closet and revealed himself. The paper is a piece of liberal trash.

This thread is evidence that liberal bias is still with us.And this story can be used to illustrate this point. Unfortunately, most media reporters try to hide their bias by denying it when asked. But a close read of their stories tells otherwise. This reporter got a little too cocky and paid the price. The others will be smarter. Still waters run deep.

All this firing will do is make some reporters more resentful of conservatives. There is a definite trend growing. The relatively small numbers of conservatives who are demonstrating are the vanguard, the minutemen, who are rattling the mindset of the lefties. These conservatives, speaking up all over the country, are causing the lefties to show their true colors. The nasty little charade of objective journalism is being revealed to more and more Americans who are just recently becoming politically aware and active.
I see example after example of this and it gives me great hope for the future.

Hey! Eric Alterman says the media is conservative!
And if you don't believe him, just ask him - he'll tell you. ;-)
To: San Jacinto
I'd wager he wasn't fired for writing the letter per se. The paper probably asked him to apologize after the incident became public, and when he refused they fired him for insubordination.

Well, it might also help this guy get his foot in the door at the New York Times. I imagine they're always looking for promising anti-American writing talent, just in case Mo Dowd gets run over by a cab on her way to some Upper West Side cocktail party.

OK you two; any thoughts on this??
IMO there's a telltale smell of something fishy, here.
Brings to mind an old saying.
"Be careful of something that's just what you want it to be."
...'nuff said.
