While I was in the UK, Mark Morford’s Morning Fix newsletter was my lifeline back to my home town of San Francisco. Even once I was back, its combination of witty writing, wonderful politics, and interesting features made it a mandatory part of my day’s reading.
Then, a few weeks ago, it just stopped. Bang. Nothing. Horrors. No one was willing to talk about what was going on.
Now, his column at SFGate (the web site of the San Francisco Chronicle) is back. Clearly, he got into some kind of big trouble with Hearst, the publishers, since the header on the announcement says:
We’re currently evaluating aspects of the Morning Fix newsletter and hope to be able to return it to you soon.
This is, of course, management-speak for “We’re not done with the rubber hoses and cigarettes on him, yet.” I hope that it returns soon, and in all its wonderful, irreverent glory.
