The Loons Are Listening

The story of Dawn Eden's dismissal from The New York Post has gotten out to a member of the lunatic fringe, who's trying to make this look like a case of Jews persecting a Christian. First, an obvious joke was quoted with a strange emphasis added:

The Post hired her full time in 2003. She loved editing and writing punning headlines. But she landed in hot water after giving an interview to Gilbert, a G.K Chesterton magazine, in which she talked about her faith and working at the Post.

She said her boss, chief copy editor Barry Gross, chided her, telling her, “Some people already think the Post is conservative, and we don’t need New York readers also thinking it’s a Christian paper and that there are Christians working there.“

The actual quote without added emphasis:

He also neglected to quote the following excerpt about the dismissal:

Mr. Allan called her into his office and fired her.

"Probably the second most surprised person in the office the day she was fired, after Dawn, was me," said Mr. Gross. "I’m still not pleased about it, but the call wasn’t mine."

I won't do more than mention that she's one of our moles (with additional evidence here) or that she's willing to save non-white babies.
