Someone really does read those papers

---

New York magazine reportered that Eliott Kalan, a producer for the Daily Show, received the ax after preaching the demise of newspapers in his NY Metro column.

Kalan, who wrote that nobody reads the papers anymore, as atested by the way the Metro is shoved into your hands while descending into the subways, wasn't sure what happened when he received word that his humor column was dropped. It seems the CEO of the Metro's parent company, Chris Spalding, read the article and Kalan's humor was lost in translation.

Looks like somebody actually does read the paper. It's a shame that it happened to be the guy who can have you fired. So much for editorial freedom. We'll have to see how Murdock treats the Journal now.
