L'il Danny the Censor?

Former Washington Post Bezos Bugle sports writer Jason Reid was known for his biting -- and accurate -- columns on the Washington football team's lousy play and even lousier management, by which we mean the vertically-challenged team owner (and Republican contributor) Daniel "L'il Danny" Snyder.  When he was with the Bezos Bugle, Reid would ask probing and critical questions of the team's management, particularly General Manager Bruce Allen, in press conferences, which annoyed him and L'il Danny to no end.

Now, according to reports, L'il Danny is strongly suspected to have directed the squashing of Reid's debut on "The Man Cave," a new show on the local radio station that he owns.  If true, it wouldn't be the first time that L'il Danny elbowed the local press to try to shape his image or that of his team.  Several years ago, L'il Danny tried to shut down a small paper in D.C. that had run an unflattering story about him, and it was only after the community expressed its outrage that L'il Danny backed down.  Time will tell if this latest effort at censorship blow up in his face, too.
