Original Note:
The headline & opening sentence suggest that the Seattle Times fired the author for "defending Hitler" or because he "criticized Lenin," but his essay reveals that the Times fired him not for the content of his writing but for “poor judgment” in “continuing to engage online.” https://www.thefp.com/p/seattle-times-writer-fired-over-hitler-lenin
