“A Tennessee newspaper editor has been fired after writing a headline critical of President Obama. Drew Johnson’s editorial, titled, ‘Take your jobs plan and shove it, Mr. President: Your policies have harmed Chattanooga enough,’ was published in the Chattanooga Times Free Press earlier this week when Obama visited the city. The timing of the column gave it a national audience it might not otherwise have had. As a result, it went viral online and Johnson, the editor of the Times Free Press editorial page, has since been let go. ‘I just became the first person in the history of newspapers to be fired for writing a paper’s most-read article,’ he tweeted.”
