Milo struggles with rejection
Sad news: The Daily Caller has caved to pressure and cancelled my weekly column after a day, claiming, falsely, they never planned to run weekly contributions from me. They were perfectly happy having my name and face on their site when we were paying for ads for my New York Times bestselling book, DANGEROUS. The Daily Caller is also throwing its opinion editor Rob Mariani under the bus: we are told he has just been fired. I’m disappointed, to put it mildly. Never mind book publishers — even right-wing media these days are spineless in the face of outrage mobs, Twitter protests and frothing establishment Republicans. Where will it end? So: no new MILO column for now. This sort of cowardice is why the Right in America loses and will keep losing the culture wars.
I wonder what he thinks those screenshots establish. A midlevel editor wanted to make him a regular [but unpaid according to CNN] columnist but was overruled. Yes, and?
What are people thinking? How can they even think of making the Milo have a low? Where is the world going to?
Nothing even like this ever happened before, in all of human history. Or at least, not to him, it seems.
I’ll see you sll at the next Outrage Mob meeting. Don’t be late, none of you turned up last time :(
Milo is discovering that “pissing off the libs” is not really much of a skill. There’s a couple dozen like him in every college’s Republican club — well, other than the gay and British part, but that was just a bonus.
The conservative power brokers were happy to use Milo while he was useful to them, but once he became tarnished he proved to be utterly replaceable.
