[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know nothing about this fired reporter, but from where I'm standing the Washington Post looks bad, because they seem to be supporting the first reporter who made an unacceptably misogynist remark. Like PP said, that kind of comment does not exist in a vacuum - for someone to actually type and send this, it means he often thinks like that, and feels secure enough in his employment and colleagues to publish those remarks. It means the Post is a shitty place for a woman to work. He should have been fired first.

I was just in the process of getting a Post subscription and I’ve decided against it after this. [/quote]

Yup, I do have a Post subscription but I'm not happy with this.  Fire the woman reporter for being a loose cannon, ok.   Not firing the man who sent the sexist tweets, not ok. [/quote]
I am a lifelong subscriber to the Post, a liberal and a feminist. I am not happy about Weigel’s retweet but he removed it, apologized and was suspended. Then the entire newsroom was warned that everyone needed to stop disparaging their colleagues and the Post in person or online, and Sonmez kept at it for days. She’s done. For anyone who’s ever had employees it should be obvious why. Yes she will sue again, but I’m sure that was part of their calculus and they needed her to be gone anyway.

Also, Jesus Post, only about five people should be able to send emails to the entire company. Fix that now, sheesh.[/quote]
