are miami herald journalists waking up to the fact that the herald is now
a corporate fascist paper where the image of impeccability and illusory pristiness of the paper is exulted over the individual, and that if the individual doesn't toe the corporate fascist line repressive measures will be taken against him/her... are they waking up to the fact that this is not the america that many of them came to when they left cuba, or it is not the america that they grew up in, and that the herald is beginning to resemble more the repressive curtain of cuba than the unfence prairies of our democracy?

...reading the following paragraph makes me pose the above question.

"But the suicide has also touched off a journalistic firestorm, with outraged reporters here lashing out at Herald executives and the newspaper's parent company, Knight Ridder, for the late-night firing of star columnist Jim DeFede, the writer Teele contacted just before he took his own life."
