Did Low Traffic Count Doom Web Columnist?

From the NYTimes.

About the Dan Froomkin dismissal from Washington Post.com.

IMO...The WashPost has the most INEPT website of ALL the major newspapers.
It employs ultra short takes...that serve only to INFLATE its page count...and slow loads.

Plus an annoying log-in process...even to glance at a story.

So now, I avoid the Washington Post website!

At THO...there's no worry about the web count. There isn't one.
Besides, Latin American and Eastern European news stories aren't exactly traffic builders.
