The article says her editorial was written to criticize her employer. Was she hoping to get fired instead of politely being told no?

Editorial freedom like this was actually quite commonplace at US newspapers. Op-Eds criticising the paper's owner signals viewpoint independence to readers, which boosts sales. In fact, it's usually easier to criticize the owners themselves than policies the owners care about.

She has been writing in the opinion section for 40 years, which previously printed many columns the newspaper didn’t agree with.
