And it's pretty silly to mock her, since she works for Gannett, which owns tons of newspapers, not just that one. She probably never heard of the article until all the backlash came out. As a CEO, she is just a business manager, she has no involvement in editorial content. Plus I bet that particular newspaper represents less than 1% of Gannett's total circulation. It's basically a piddly little tabloid.
Funny thing: When you're a manager, you can't simply claim that you had no idea what your subordinates are doing. You're responsible for what they do, in your name.

Not only that, but whether she was invovled in the original decision or not she has definitely heard about it by now. And tacit compliance is still compliance.

All true, but it still seems rather silly. If I wanted to "pwn" someone at the newspaper and teach them a lesson, I'd focus on the person/people who actually wrote & approved the article.

What do you expect from NYC-area journalists, most of whom have never fired a gun in their lives.

What my employer doesn't know, that does them no harm, should be of absolutely no consequence.

Why, the same thing that I expect from people in Toronto, which is a mostly Liberal stronghold where a city councillor recently suggest banning the sale of bullets within the city limits.

After the high impact Voter Fraud investigation released throughout 2012, Project Veritas, set its sights on top gun control advocates to see how they felt when placed in the same position as our nation's children – within a Gun Free Zone.

Project Veritas' found, James O'Keefe remarked, "Our nation's children spend the majority of their week within schools that are starkly emblazoned with signs that read 'Gun Free Zone.' Project Veritas put that same concept to the test with some of America's most fervent advocates for gun control."

Organizing as Citizens Against Senseless Violence, Project Veritas' citizen journalists went door-to-door in New York, New Jersey and Washington, D.C. to see which outspoken champions for Gun Control would be willing to declare their own home as a "Gun Free Zone" by placing a sign on their lawn.

O'Keefe continued, "It's amazing to see members of our media equivocate and contradict their spoken and written words when faced with the dilemma to declare their own homes as Gun Free. Surprisingly, we found that the homes of the very New York paper that was willing to put the lives and fortunes of gun owners at risk by publishing their names and addresses, were also the most heavily armed and protected. The hypocrisy of New York's Journal News is beyond words."

Project Veritas also paid a visit to Attorney General Eric Holder's home to see if the nation's top enforcer of gun restrictions would be willing to place a sign in front of his home that read, "This home is proudly gun free!"

O'Keefe concluded, "FBI Police confronted our reporters within minutes of their knocking on the Attorney General's home. Eric Holder is safe and sound under armed protection, unlike the nation's children."
