Good grief - via Matthew Cooper, who apparently doesn't even know how to spell it: The Crucifixtion(sic) of Nico Pitney. Liberals should just start tattooing a "V" for victim on their foreheads in case the need ever arises. If this is where Cooper comes from, he's a waste of time. Maybe The Atlantic should just repost HuffPo items on the affair. Talk about a once prestigious masthead looking for ways to squander its storied name on line.
This is what a crucifixion looks like, Marc Matthew. Get a grip next time, you might not go over the top.
Gannon's resignation highlights the no-holds-barred atmosphere of the Web, which both enabled him to function as a reporter -- his stories appeared on a site founded by Texas Republican activist Bobby Eberle -- and produced a swarm of critics determined to expose him.


I'm beginning to understand the concept of cruci-fiction... where in one pretends to be a martyr. Somewhat like the now familiar "conservative who happens to be pro-environment" gag.

"..concept of cruci-fiction.."
