@jktrotter @elspethreeve takes us back to other point: the management decision is equivalent to vote of no confidence in editorial leaders — PolitiTweet.org

@jktrotter @justinjm1 read my tl for some elaboration. he knew exactly what would happen by making this decision. — PolitiTweet.org

@jktrotter @elspethreeve it will never really be disappeared — unfortunately — but there is honor in retracting something despicable. — PolitiTweet.org

Guess who said this: "Never give a journalist an opportunity to Take A Stand. Unless maybe u want to clean house w/o all the messy firing." — PolitiTweet.org

Ryan Lizza @RyanLizza

@jktrotter @elspethreeve would be worthing hearing from departing editors if they would have removed it. your reporting suggests otherwise. — PolitiTweet.org

Ryan Lizza @RyanLizza
