This week's inside-the-beltway brouhaha seems to involve the firing of David Weigel.
If you said "David who?" you are like me, too focused on going to work and paying my bills to get bothered about some leaked emails from Journolist, some liberal reporter electronic bitch forum used by the D.C. crowd.
Weigel's mia culpa leaves the reader with two obvious and unanswered questions:
Who cares about the preening of D.C. pack journalists anyway?
Why such deep existential angst about the "difficult" choices that confront journalists?
Here's a simple suggestion. Why not just go out and report the facts comprehensively and as objectively as possible and leave it to the readers to form their own opinions? Sounds crazy but it might keep you from standing in the unemployment line and having to listen war stories about the good ole days at "Newsweek".
