Jobless

Joe Maguire, the author of Brainless: The Lies and Lunacy of Ann Coulter, has been fired by Reuters. Other Reuters employees not happy. Reuters says tough; cites policy outlining principles of “integrity, independence and freedom from bias,” but won’t elaborate.

Saying “the book speaks for itself” isn’t enough. If Maguire was biased, or wrong, in his book, Reuters needs to say exactly where, because otherwise it looks like they fired him simply for being tough on a prominent conservative.
