They didn't throw anybody under the bus. Their job is to continue to sell magazines. His editorial has created quite a backlash that is making their job to continue to sell magazines more difficult. So to stop the bleeding, they fired the guy that wrote the inflammatory opinion piece. The guy had to know that when he penned that piece and it was actually published that his opinion was not going to be popular amongst their readers.

He didn't publish this piece without full knowledge of senior management, but he will fall on the sword alone.

All of this is true. However, I feel pretty confident that higher ups at G&A knew what they were printing, but did it anyway. Dick is probably the only one whose head will roll. Hence, the comment about throwing him under the bus.
