[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weingarten is a great satirist. To appreciate satire one must be open-minded. Since more and more people are becoming more rigidly close-minded (both on the left and right of the ideological spectrum), satire is — regrettably — less appreciated and less understood.[/quote] Satire punches up, not down. This old white dude is entirely within his rights to dislike a certain variety of food. However, it's not satire to say so. Moreover, the idea that someone deserves a platform in order to make fun of people with less political, social, and economic power than him is something WaPo should probably evaluate. If he's run out of things to say, he can stop retire. But he does not deserve an international platform for this nonsense. [/quote]
