The New York Times has fired journalist Quinn Norton, its
brand new editorial board hire, HuffPost has learned. At
around 3 p.m. on Tuesday, the paper's communications
department tweeted that it had hired Norton as its "lead
opinion writer on the power, culture and consequences of
technology." Twitter users immediately began pointing to her
past tweets, in which she's admitted she's "friends with
various neo-Nazis" - though she says she has "never agreed
with them." In other tweets, she's called users "fag" and used
racial slurs.
