Sounds like a personnel problem

Readers of the Washington Post’s Outlook section apparently can expect more feminist “confessions of an overwrought loser” pieces. It seems that this is a direction that the new Outlook editor, Susan Glaser, wants the section to take. One reader who is acquainted with Glaser describes her as “a flaming feminist. . .who would remind the average conservative blogger of Mary Mapes.” Another reader, Bill Campenni who has dealt with the Outlook section since Glaser took over, says he was advised by a staff member that Glaser is looking for a “totally different cut on things.” So far, as Bill puts it, “that cut seems to be highly feminist agenda with a lot of navel gazing. The section is becoming a ‘Joy Luck Club’ for liberals finding life difficult.”
