Bang! Editor fired after publishing gun-owner map Empty Bang! Editor fired after publishing gun-owner map

Surprise surprise surprise!  Lol!

The editor of the New York newspaper who created a furor by obtaining the names and addresses of gun permit owners and publishing them suddenly is out of a job.

According to a report in the Rockland Times, a competitor to the Gannett-owned Rockland County Journal News, editor Caryn McBride is among the casualties of a recent purge at the Journal News.  The report describes how 17 journalists and a total of 26 staff members at the Journal News were let go
 
It was the Journal News that in 2012 “took it upon itself to publish the names and addresses of all gun owners in Westchester and Rockland counties under the headline, ‘Where are the gun permits in your neighborhood?’” according to a BigPacReview report.

The Times described how McBride, as editor then, “gained fame earlier this year for her involvement in the Journal News gun map fiasco.”
The report also noted, “Police reports indicated McBride had called the Clarkstown Police Department to notify them of torrents of angry phone calls and letters the newspaper received following the publication of the map. The Rockland editor said she felt threatened by the complaints, but local police did not agree a credible threat against the safety of employees of the newspaper existed.
 
“Unsatisfied, McBride and other executives decided to hire armed guards to protect their property, causing an uproar due to the perceived hypocrisy of the avowed anti-gun editors hiring gun-toting men,” the Times reported.

The layoffs were announced by the newspaper’s CEO, Janet Hasson.

Hypocrite is right.  There was only 1 motive I can see in her decision to publish this map in the 1st place and that's that she is an anti-gun activist.  And probably a stuck up know-it-all witch to boot.  You know the type...you cant tell them nothing coz they know better than the rest of us.

Good riddance.  She'll probably turn up at the Huffington Post or MSNBC though.

They will all land on their feet......with better jobs!!! Seems that has become the nature of things in this day and age. If one wants to get a better, higher paying job, all he/she has to do is suck really bad at the job they have now.
