Damn. Now, I will have to update the Wasting Time list because WashPo fired Dan Froomkin. I always thought is was wasting time(squared) to put a standard newspaperland source on this list.
Sydney Schanberg, who was a NYT's Op-ed columnist (focused on Metro issues) was fired for being a pain in the ass, too. That was at a time when it was almost unheard of for TNYT to fire a columnist. There ain't nothing new.
The circumstances for such firings are always different with each case. At the same time, it seems that standard newspaperland management leans toward the ruling powers when it makes its decisions.
At the time of this posting, Wikipedia does not even mention TNYT fired Schanberg.
So it goes.
