Fallout From MSNBC Report

A few heads have rolled following MSNBC's investigation into journalists who gave to candidates:

The TV reporter in Omaha who posted a photo of herself on Facebook.com with a congressional candidate, urging her friends to vote for him, is no longer working at the station.

Also out: an editorial cartoonist who said he didn't "give a rat's ass" about his newspaper's policy on campaign contributions by journalists.

And one newspaper has dropped the syndicated column "The Ethicist" by New York Times writer Randy Cohen because of his donation to MoveOn.org, which he said he had thought of as "nonpartisan."

The paper which dropped Cohen's column was the Spokesman-Review in Spokane, WA. He is still employed at the Times.
