Was AOL Reporter Tommy Christopher Sacked For Criticizing Misogynist Playboy Piece? »

Earlier this week, we mentioned how Playboy had published a sociopathic, hateful, and unfunny listicle by Guy Cimbalo, listing the ten conservative women he most wanted to "hate ****" that was replete with some of the most execrable and misogynistic drivel you are likely to ever see. By the looks of things, decent people on both the right and the left have decried the content of the posting. This is a good thing. But you know what is a bad thing? A writer has apparently been fired over this. Why is this a bad thing? Because the sacked writer is not Cimbalo, but rather, a passionate critic of this disgusting article.

I speak, of course, of Tommy Christopher, who up until yesterday was a political reporter for AOL's Politics Daily, and who also blogs at a site called Tommy Christopher's Daily Dose. Eat The Press enthusiasts may remember Christopher as being one of the first reporters in the White House Press Room to take on Robert Gibbs over the issue of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

    Good story TC!
    On the face of it it looks like a low move by aol, our "sponsors" here and where James M is now going to be operating..
    I trust that our discussion here will not lead to any summary expulsions!
    Freedom of the Press is a VERY high freedom on my list - especially since it was absent for most of my life in my own country.
    The specific topic involved here only amplifies my dismay.
