The editor-in-chief of Scientific American went on a tirade, insulting much of America, on social medoa on election night and has been forced to resign.
Laura Helmuth had such choice comments as:
and

This not only shows her utter disdain for the average American it also shows she is a radical who was using Scientific American as yet another tool of propaganda.
After an explosive backlash on the Sci-Am boards, she deleted all the critical messages and then posted up a ridiculous article in the magazine about dealing with "the very real" stress of Trump Derangement Syndrome Election Grief (Good Grief!)
Sci-Am claims she chose to resign (right!) but she did so only after making a spectacle of herself.
She is par for the course in our modern times - a radical activist who somehow worms her way into a position of authority and then corrupts a once venerable institution.
Helmuth (To paraphrase Rick Moranis in Spacceballs "I'll bet she gives great helmuth")has a doctorate in cognitive neuroscience from UC Berkeley (is any of that a surprise - "cognitive neuroscience is pretty much a pseudoscience and what it has given us are ridiculous claims that conservatives are fearful and despotic based on junk science like the study I rebutted a few years ago) and anything from Berkeley is red and infected. She went on to U.C. Santa Cruz’s science communication program, then from there as an editor at leftist Smithsonian magazine, leftist Slate, Science magazine, and the leftist Washington Post. None of her previous employment suggests anything but a radical in a lab coat.
I'm glad she's gone but we need to be much more proactive. The Left would guarantee a right-winger would never work again and we should return the favor, seeing to it people like this are blackballed. What always happens when these radicals cross the line is they simply keep their heads low for a while then emerge with another important job, usually better than the last. Our people wither away. It's time we start holding grudges.
Now is the time to push Sci-Am to find a real editor, one who will have scientific objectivity, at a minimum. I favor Steven Milloy, for instance, or Mark Morano.
