Seems Inga is winning … big on social media," agreed Wishnowski.That apparently was fine with the Inquirer's progressive editors, who had begun a purge of non-progressive voices in the paper by basically shit-canning Byko. They did it by sending him a message that after 47 years, they were deep-sixing his column and exiling him to the sports copy desk.
One would think the demotion alone would have prompted a union complaint at the very least. And one would think it would have taken only minimal social skills to inspire someone to go over to Inga and ask her to stop. I was long gone by then, and I didn’t know about how “progressive” the editorial management had become (just brilliant to have your newspaper adopt a single viewpoint — that’s not a newspaper; that’s a propaganda rag). I hear their circulation figures reflect how popular that move has been.
