Was Jill Abramson fired because of sexism?

This week at the New York Times editor Jill Abramson was ousted. Interesting, only a few weeks ago, she raised questions about her pay in relation to her predecessor, who happened to be a man. Coincidence? Of course not! Bah. She was then unceremoniously set loose in a decidedly different manner than her predecessor. I’ve always liked the New York Times but they just lost a lot of cred.
