Not a good sign

Creative Loafing fires Editor Ken Edelstein

In a move that stunned staffers, Creative Loafing Atlanta Publisher Luann Labedz announced this morning that Editor Ken Edelstein was fired. A tearful editorial staff followed him out of the building to say goodbye.

Labedz said Edelstein’s firing was a "confidential personnel matter" and that she could not elaborate. A call to Edelstein reached his voicemail.

"This was an involuntary termination," Edelstein told the AJC. "I feel very comfortable that I did the right thing, and I love my staff."

    I just want to point this out because a few of us discussed this earlier, but Massa finally has his clean win up in New York:

    "The conservative-leaning 29th District runs along the state’s border with Pennsylvania and reaches up toward Rochester."

    A single payer healthcare advocate winning that district shows that the issue cuts across party lines and with a tough smart advocate can be won all over the country.
