Virginia Paper Drops Columnist Malkin

By E&P Staff

NEW YORK On daily newspapers' opinion pages, columnists come and go. But the dumping of an increasingly popular conservative at the Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk, Va., got more of a public airing than usual.

The newspaper's public editor, Marvin Lake, announced in a column responding to a reader's complaint about editorial balance at the paper that Michelle Malkin, who had been added to give "another voice to the conservatives," had been dropped as a columnist because she was "too stridently anti-liberal."

Lake explained that "readers often took issue with her seemingly mean-spirited rantings and suggested that she be dropped. Well, she’s outta here, silenced for being 'too stridently anti-liberal,' the assessment of the editorial board."

Editorial writer Don Luzzatto told Lake: “I was really put off by her penchant for name-calling and ad hominem attack. I think we can do much better.”

Another editorial writer, Bronwyn Lance Chester, said: “I think she habitually mistakes shrill for thought-provoking and substitutes screaming for discussion. She’s an Asian Ann Coulter. I also think that, like Coulter, she says outrageous things just to get TV appearances and book deals. She’s the worst of what’s wrong with punditry today. She adds absolutely nothing to genuine political discourse.”

MM is reptilian, repulsive ... Republican! She has nothing of substance to contribute to the national dialogue -- good riddance!

[Eric J in MN]

4. I'm shedding tears for her.

No, not really.

[hiley]

5. Now

that is funny coz' I wrote her she would start losing jobs because she is so mean.

[Blue_Tires]

6. finally!!!

I know Lake personally, and he knew then that Malkin was a blight on the op-ed page...(i personally boycotted the paper until she was taken off)

[bo44]

7. The fucking bitch replaced ann the man in the daily I read

I wanna puke when I see her face in my paper.

[Kolesar]

8. She wrote a book opposing immigration &had a segment on CSPAN Booknotes

Brian Lamb is a swell guy with a boffo network to his credit. My first exposure to Malkin was her interview with Brian Lamb. She did not come off as a total * in that interview.

Catwoman, did you steal that tagline from Michael Feldman. He described George Bush as "the other white meat".

[CatWoman]

10. no, I stole it from the story

Another editorial writer, Bronwyn Lance Chester, said: “I think she habitually mistakes shrill for thought-provoking and substitutes screaming for discussion. She’s an Asian Ann Coulter.

9. She used to write for The Seattle Times

One of the numerous reasons I no longer take that stupid rag of a paper.

11. Where are your cats???

:hi:

As for Malkin - boo f'n hoo!

[CatWoman]

13. i think skinner has the sig lines turned off

:hi:

[T Roosevelt]

12. We should contact the paper

and let them know they done good...

[BlueEyedSon]

14. "In Defense of Internment"

Yeah, that's the title of her recent book on US treatment of Asian-Americans during WW2.

What's next... "In defense of Concentration Camps" (Her husband is Jewish)?

Total fruitcake.

[Lefty48197]

15. So much for pretty faces getting all the television jobs

[Reality Not Tin Foil]

16. GOOD!

We need less of her kind of crap in this nation if we're to move forwad.

[PopSixSquish]

17. Gosh, I'm Sitting Here Smiling Like a Fool

is that a bad thing?

/non-serious question

[Gman]

18. Very well said by an obviously intelligent person

"Another editorial writer, Bronwyn Lance Chester, said: “I think she habitually mistakes shrill for thought-provoking and substitutes screaming for discussion. She’s an Asian Ann Coulter. I also think that, like Coulter, she says outrageous things just to get TV appearances and book deals. She’s the worst of what’s wrong with punditry today. She adds absolutely nothing to genuine political discourse.”

But then Malkin's intended audience isn't intelligence. Someone else with intelligent sees through it immediately.

19. Someone notify piece_sine; he/she said in another thread

(the one about burning mAnn Coulter and Malkin books) that Malkin sometimes made sense.

Bridget Burke and I both asked for proof of her "sense," and we're still waiting.

Tap, tap, tap...

[Chipper Chat]

20. She gives all Asians a bad name....

I saw her on Hardball announcing that Kerry shot himself on purpose so he could get out of Vietnam. Chris Matthews asked her how she knew that, and she held up a book and exclaimed "read it, it's IN THE BOOK. Did you read it Chris?" Matthews came back with "No I haven't and I'm not going to!" So much for his confidence in Malkin as a credible source. The next day in her blog Sweet Michelle dissed Matthews - calling him a pig.

A is for Asian
B is for Bitch
C is for combine both and you get a witch.

[Catherine Vincent]

21. LOL! You so crazy.

[sendero]

22. me miss her short time

or something like that :)

[blueblitzkrieg]

23. HA!

now if all papers would be so sensible! being a hateful, crazy bitch does not make one a good writer. i hope malkin is crying like she did after tweety (in one of his FEW fine moments) kicked her sorry ass every which way on hardball.

24. Ann and Michelle have a lot in common
