On Dave Weigel: IMO he's guilty only of irresponsibility and bad taste, but someone who professes to be a reputable journalist, writes for one of the world's leading media institutions, and indulges in coolness display on social media should expect some blowback. The ferocity of it should put media figures everywhere on notice that ugly, tasteless speech without consequences is becoming unbearably tedious for audiences. Weigel's employer has a responsibility to, at minimum, give a very firm reminder of its code of conduct ( every company has one) and to make a public statement that it has done so.
