NY Times Fired Managing Editor Jill Abramson After She Asked For Equal Pay…
The supreme irony being the paper she ran has printed endless op-eds parroting Obama’s demands for equal pay for women. Once again, the overwhelming hypocrisy of the left is exposed. "Do as I say, not as I do", is the libs motto.
Quote:The question of why, exactly, Jill Abramson was fired as the top editor of the New York Times has been dominating media circles since the paper announced her departure on Wednesday. While the news was initially steeped in mystery, several reports have painted a picture of continual clashes between Abramson and the two other key players in the Times hierarchy: publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. and Mark Thompson, the CEO of the New York Times company.
The most explosive charge came from the New Yorker’s Ken Auletta, who reported that Abramson had recently complained to her bosses after finding out that she was being paid “considerably less” than her male predecessor, Bill Keller:
“She confronted the top brass,” one close associate said, and this may have fed into the management’s narrative that she was “pushy,” a characterization that, for many, has an inescapably gendered aspect. Sulzberger is known to be believe that the Times, as a financially beleaguered newspaper, has had to retreat on some of its generous pay and pension benefits; Abramson had also been at the Times for many fewer years than Keller, having spent much of her career at the Wall Street Journal, accounting for some of the pension disparity. (I was also told by another friend of hers that the pay gap with Keller has since been closed.) But, to women at an institution that was once sued by its female employees for discriminatory practices, the question brings up ugly memories. Whether Abramson was right or wrong, both sides were left unhappy.
NPR’s David Folkenflik soon confirmed that Abramson had raised the issue of her pay with her superiors. [...]
Capital New York’s Joe Pompeo reported that one Times staffer, Alison Mitchell, told Sulzberger that Abramson’s ouster “wouldn’t sit well with a broad swath of female Times journalists who saw her as a role model.”

Hahahahahahahaahahha......................breathe..............................Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha
If it weren't for double standards the left would have no standards at all. Who was the other broad to recently get canned from one of the dinosaurs? CBSsnooze, perhaps? Cause she dared to actually investigate something regarding the leftists in office today?
they'll figure it out some day. Perhaps Mss. Abramson a little sooner than others. haha

How many Republican "war on women" articles did they print under her direction? Think she might like to edit some of them now?

"financially beleaguered" is putting it very mildly.

She was too bossy. There is a big difference between being an in the tank, partisan hack and a journalist. Hacks get paid a lot less, there a dime a dozen.

I've found that understanding reality prevents much time and energy whining and complaining. It also allows me to enjoy stories like this.

They probably fired her because of her annoying voice. I would have.
