One journalist who misses Bush

Monday, July 13th, 2009 | Media Behaving Badly |

The New York Times - Web Traffic (or Lack of) May Be a Reason for a Columnist’s Dismissal:

The Washington Post indicated that a slump in visitors to Mr. Froomkin’s well-known Web column, White House Watch, contributed to its decision not to renew his contract in June. The popularity of Mr. Froomkin’s column was tied in part to its consistent critiques of the Bush administration, and he acknowledges that his page views declined after President Obama took office.

Froomkin failed to adjust from the old paradigm (Bush Derangement Syndrome) to the new paradigm (Palin Derangement System).
