Yes. Next question.
Wormtongue likes to compare himself to some of his predecessors. FDR and Lincoln come to mind. LBJ, not so much. But Johnson was wellknown for complaining about negative reporting, including headlines like the one in the Chattanooga Times [Not-So] Free Press. He was used to a lapdog newspaper in Austin doing his bidding.
The Worm apparently is known for calling to get sentences removed. So it just makes sense that he got editorial page editor Drew Johnson fired.
He wouldn’t even have to ask for it. A hard stare would be plenty, from this would-be dictator who (like his fellow Democrats LBJ and FDR) has used the IRS to attack his political critics.
The only way to avoid it is to become his stenographer, like, who else, the toadies at the NYTimes.

UPDATE: Remember, this is the guy who joked (in public in 2009) about having the IRS audit his enemies.
