Utopia Talk / Politics / WaPost suspends political reporter

murder rank	Tue Jun 07 03:46:24 2022 David Weigel for a retweet. Here it is ... http://twi...us/1533943265820520448/photo/1
murder rank	Tue Jun 07 03:47:13 2022 Poor guy did himself in. He forgot to put "retweets are not endorsements" in his Twitter bio. :o)
Rugian rank	Tue Jun 07 04:10:31 2022 Meanwhile, Taylor Lorenz is still happily employed. WaPo is a fucking joke.
Y2A rank	Tue Jun 07 04:18:41 2022 David Weigel is a sharp guy, WaPo is wrong here.
kargen rank	Tue Jun 07 05:18:29 2022 It's funny because it is true. A sexist would say.
Sam Adams rank	Tue Jun 07 06:32:26 2022 Ok, he should have known better than to make a joke about oversensitive bipolar womyns in this day an age. But this is clearly true as well: "Taylor Lorenz is still happily employed. WaPo is a fucking joke."
nhill rank	Tue Jun 07 09:15:25 2022 He's a journalist and it's a pun. They don't have to be funny to be entertaining. Pathetic that he got cancelled over a retweet, not even a quote tweet.
nhill rank	Tue Jun 07 09:18:10 2022 Someone should hire him right away. But also the guy needs to separate his work account from an anon account. No idea who this is, never heard of him before
Paramount rank	Tue Jun 07 10:46:09 2022 He broke WaaaPost’s rules.
nhill rank	Tue Jun 07 11:04:38 2022 They have a rule against retweeting puns?
nhill rank	Tue Jun 07 11:05:38 2022 Puns aren't commentary. It's a clever pun, bipolar, bisexual is all. But my fucking god are people sensitive these days wtf
murder rank	Tue Jun 07 13:43:43 2022 "It's funny because it is true." It's funny because it's funny.
murder rank	Tue Jun 07 13:46:33 2022 "Someone should hire him right away." He's not fired. He's on timeout. What he needs to do is block the coworker that reported him so they can't see any more of his tweets or retweets. In fact everyone working at the Washington Post should block him/her/them.
nhill rank	Tue Jun 07 14:49:31 2022 Oh he's only on timeout, lol
murder rank	Fri Jun 10 01:50:15 2022 The political reporter who complained about the retweet has been fired. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H77fRz1rybs "This is a man's world"
Rugian rank	Fri Jun 10 01:55:07 2022 She went on a weeks-long public tirade against the paper, and whenever a fellow reporter would tweey her gently suggesting "hey, maybe you're going a bit overboard with this" she would lash out at them and accuse them of feeding misogyny and hatred. She honestly seems like she suffers from mental illness. I wish her good luck in getting the medical help she needs.
Habebe rank	Fri Jun 10 01:56:12 2022 She got fired today.
Y2A rank	Fri Jun 10 04:27:22 2022 good, Weigel is of way more value.
