The Washington Post has fired now-former global opinions editor Karen Attiah after she appeared to celebrate the political assassination of Charlie Kirk. That comes amid a range of firings across multiple sectors of people who apparently have no self-control whatsoever, nor the common decency to practice it.
Kirk was murdered by a far-left radical who had a "trans-furry" boyfriend while holding an open debate on a Utah college campus. The shooter, Tyler Robinson, fled after firing the fatal shot before his father and a youth pastor detained and turned him in a day later.
For her part, Attiah reacted

Don't try arguing that "free speech" should save your job. If Charlie Kirk can die because of what he said, it is no big deal if you simply get fired for what you said.

Jeff should have cleaned house in that 'company' long ago.
If necessary fire every employ there and start over, May take a while but it CAN be done.
Same for Chicago and L.A. papers.
The Founding Fathers thought that a 'free' press would be honorable because it was
free and not corrupted by people who could be dishonorable.
Unfortunately we have a press ( and the scourge of 'social media' ) that seems to pay
very little, if any, attention to honesty and truthfulness ! There are very few that can be
believed and taken at face value ! Eventually, if this continues, news 'papers', radio,
television, the internet, every communication mode will be essentially useless because
there is no way to verify what is said. Just my humble opinion !

Wouldn't be surprised if they were waiting for a justifiable reason to dump her for years, and they finally got one.

Attiah's brain processing power would seem to be minimal.

She evidently thought that her magic skin color would protect her.

Monumental ignorance is not what this creature suffers from. It's a sense of entitlement so bad she(it?) thinks she can publicly lie about someone she doesn't agree with, and do it in the most racist way possible and not be responsible for her actions.
She is the perfect poster child for everything wrong in our country today. No empathy, no morals, no education, no nothing and brazenly proud of her own stupidity.
You'd think Charlie Kirk's widow could sue this woman for defamation at the least. I want to know if someone eventually employs her again so I can boycott them posthaste.

This literal Karen will continue to get rejected until she learns the basic social skill of keeping her big mouth shut.

Which is worse? Saying black women aren't very smart, or justifying the murder of someone you believe said black women aren't very smart.
The answer isn't rocket science.

Re #8 That was my suspicion too. She has been poking Post management with aggressive public comments for a while now.

Attiah:

It doesn't matter what Attiah thinks or says, she is just one person. The problem is that the WaaPoo gave her a platform that amplifies the weight of her words. Obviously, the WaaPoo doesn't care about the impact of publishing Attiah's twisted beliefs and are even good with most of what she has to say. But in the new environment of rising Conservative strength and a collapse of Liberal media, the Poo has to be much more careful. How much can your audience and finances shrink before you are irrelevant? Alliah doesn't care about those types of realities but when she unheedingly charged ahead, it was too much.
The same is happening to many liberal scribes of fiction (no longer journalists or reporters). They cross lines they have been jumping over for years and all of a sudden they are on the outside looking in. Further, they find they no longer have value or an audience. The worst thing for a liberal is to find out they have lost their street cred and Mojo. Too bad. So sad.
The next improvement will be when the enabling organizations collapse completely. They are already crippled and they can't seem recover beyond serving up pablum. Their fall can't happen soon enough.
