[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since Helen Rosner is one of the blue checks who decided to be a mean girl, I thought I’d show it’s not a one off.

Tara Parker-Pope is not like Dorland, in that Tara has a Times gig. But she’s been really open and vulnerable about struggling with over-eating. No matter - Helen has to make a b!/:(:y little response to her on Twitter, about an article that IMO isn’t a defense of “diet culture” or “fat phobia” or some other ill, so that Helen herself can be high-fived by a Twitter gang. She sucks SO very much. She’s just damned mean! I hate the dynamic she represents in this encounter - always leading with supposed injury and grounds in order to make someone else feel bad.

It’s complete nonsense! Of course people struggle with craving-particularly people with binge eating disorder, medications that increase appetite, and people who are medically unable to eat foods they love. What an incredibly lame take made under the guise of “bODy pOSiTivTy.” [/quote]

Tara wrote a fairly standard January type health articule. Helen decided it was time to eye-roll and ridicule with a little misrepresentation. It’s just gross. [/quote]

Isn't this half of what Twitter is, though?  People trying to build their own "brand" by making quippy little pot-shots at other people?  Of course, it's always easier to say something snarky like "Just eat the ice cream, Tara" and eye roll then it is to engage in any substance with someone.  [b]The fact that journalists are now engaged in (encouraged to engage in, and maybe even mandated to engage in) this most extreme form of superficial commentary is just one sign of what's wrong with journalism today.[/b]  [/quote]

+1 THANK YOU pp for the above bolded!

it's shameful and pathetic.

I posted this and agree with you both. It’s depressing from the uh creative class with storied positions, and their limitless ass-kissing Twitter buddies, totally. The mean girl element of it just so jumped out at me, where I’d want to ask Rosner who in the hell she thinks she is. What she is, I’m not allowed to write here. I thought way back in the fall someone mentioned having gone to school with her and how she was nice and funny….I’ve got my doubts, because she’s just intensely and intently nasty in a very calculated way.[/quote]
