Froomkin's firing deserves to be put in the context of the scandal that immediately followed: The Post selling access to editorial staff, reporters and politicians for profit, and explicitly promising influence on matters of public policy.
The Post isn't just an outdated or unethical business, it's an active and conscious enemy of Americans who want, among other things, health care reform.
In their "salon" flier they promised Kaiser Permanente, for example, special access and the opportunity to “alter the debate” on health care. Not only should readers disregard their reporting, by Bush administration stenographer Ceci Connolly, they should consider the Post a direct player opposed to their interests.
