The former editor of the Chattanooga Free Press editorial page, Drew Johnson, defended the “Shove it, Mr. President” editorial headline that got him fired Thursday on Twitter.
According to Johnson, the Times Free Press changed headlines frequently “at the last minute” and “without incident or issue.”
@Derrall We change headlines all the time at the last minute. I had a filler headline in that stunk and thought of that Johnny Paycheck song

@LeftWingCracker @JudeCostaNC9 @jutopia Again, we change headlines all the time without incident or issue.

Any time the paper wanted to change the headline online (which is how most people read the editorial), they could’ve.
