IF SO, BAD IDEA: Mark Steyn Out At NATIONAL REVIEW?

Steyn supposedly hasn’t been fired because of NR‘s cowardice over race and immigration, but just over NR‘s cowardice in general—he was reacting too bravely to a libel suit over global warming.

On his own site, Steyn writes [Trial, and Error, January 22, 2014]

“As readers may have deduced from my absence at National Review Online and my termination of our joint representation, there have been a few differences between me and the rest of the team. The lesson of the last year is that you win a free-speech case not by adopting a don’t-rock-the-boat, keep-mum, narrow procedural posture but by fighting it in the open, in the bracing air and cleansing sunlight of truth and justice.”

Our experience at VDARE.com suggests that that’s not NR‘s style.
