[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL.  Anyone watching this unfold knew she was aiming to get fired so she could bring another lawsuit against the post. And she’d directly made far more insulting remarks about men than the other reporter who got suspended for merely re-Tweeting a joke that wasn’t nearly as malicious.

I don't know.   Tweeting about all women being either "bisexual or bipolar" seems pretty hostile to me.   I would be pissed to work with someone like that too, and think it's good she called him out. [/quote]

My understanding is that he deleted it and apologized after she called him out on it.  Had she dropped it at that point it would have been fine, but I believe she continued on a Twitter rampage.   I think people forget they don’t have to put every thought of theirs on line.  [/quote]

I’m not that PP, but a reporter who feels free to retweet something that misogynist probably has a very long appalling history behind him. An apology probably doesn’t come close to covering what’s really going on. [/quote]

They guy she took down was a huge supporter of hers in the initial dust up with the post. He made a mistake, owned it, and apologized. She goes scorched earth 100% of the time. It's hard to have a successful professional career if that is your approach. She was always going to be a problem for the Post and they are tired of dealing with her. It's not just about this one issue and I don't blame them for firing her. They have a business to run and she is making it more difficult to to do and always will.

This. I'm disgusted by the Post and am thinking of cancelling my subscription. I want to support the press but the misogyny that is prevalent in every single institution is infuriating. [/quote][/quote]
