Go back and read my post again, DougR. The word "fired" does not appear in it even once. I said they have been quitting. The reason they have been giving for doing so is that they are not free to report the news. They are saying that their editors are suppressing important stories that conflict with the agendas of the special interests to whom they answer. The journalists are saying that they are quitting because this state of affairs makes it impossible to have or maintain any kind of journalistic integrity.
