WaPo columnist quote Charlie Kirk so gets fired

Karen Attiah, a longtime columnist at The Washington Post, has been dismissed from the newspaper after a series of social media posts she made following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Attiah, who joined the Post in 2014 and later became a columnist in 2021, revealed on her Substack that she was abruptly terminated last week. She says she was informed that her commentary on the platform Bluesky amounted to "gross misconduct" and "endangered the safety of colleagues."
