New York Times writer fired just hours after being hired

The New York Times decided to sever ties with the newest addition to its editorial page on Tuesday — just hours after the paper announced her arrival.

Quinn Norton — who was named as the Times’ “lead opinion writer on the power, culture and consequences of technology” — ended her very short tenure after controversy erupted over her use of racial and homophobic slurs on Twitter.

“Despite our review of Quinn Norton’s work and our conversations with her previous employers, this was new information to us,” read a statement from editorial page editor James Bennet.

“Based on it, we’ve decided to go our separate ways.”

Recognize that for most people who work for the federal government your security clearance is interim for the first year or more. It takes that long to do a background investigation and there is a significant queue for the background investigation process.

This applies to all Federal government employees, contractors, and people who work in the White House. Even if you go work in the Commerce department you "Public Trust" clearance is interim for a year or more.

So basically this news outlet is making up a big media fuss over something that is standard operating procedure and not surprising.
