Roe: Spivak took KC Star buyout

In the middle of a number of shots at Kansas City Star reporters, The Source blogger Jeff Roe says that political columnist Jeffrey Spivak accepted a buyout and is no longer with the newspaper:

Here is a case in point. The Source has heard that Star reporter Jeffrey Spivak has accepted a buyout on his contract and has left. Despite many differences with his political views, The Source thinks Spivak may have been one of the best pure writers at the Star. We know that his fellow writers thought highly of him. Management showed no interest in keeping him, and now the Star has one less quality writer.
