anysiaJoe Maguire, formerly of Reuters , was fired for writing his book BRAINLESS: The Lies and Lunacy of Ann Coulter., after he got the OK from his bosses.
I guess he didn't paint the nice rosy picture of the rabid right wingers' glamor gal/talking head they expected.
"Reuters confirmed that Mr. Maguire was granted conditional approval to write his book on Ms. Coulter — a conservative lightning rod, author and TV talking head. When asked what changed once the book was ready, a company statement pointed to Reuters’ principles of “integrity, independence and freedom from bias.”
Freedom from bias, but don't dare besmirch the vicious wench. He tells the truth, with real sources to back up everything he wrote, and he got fired for it.
How about everyone just go to Amazon and get a copy of his book?
