Journos at Washington Post exchange blows over story

Tell a Washington Post reporter she's written "the second worst story" in an editor's 43 years in the paper's Style section - the Washington society (if that's not an oxymoron) bible - and fists fly. Them's fightin' words. It's just like the Star's newsroom. Joke.

This is pretty funny. It is, I'm afraid my only posting until next week. Next time I'll learn to better judge the time required for an assignment. Enjoy:

Political Decoder by Linda Diebel


  • Linda Diebel is a veteran political reporter who worked across Canada, including on Parliament Hill, and as the Toronto Star's bureau chief in both Washington and Latin America. She has written two books, Betrayed: The Assassination of Digna Ochoa, and Stéphane Dion: Against the Current.

    She's been described as "that mean Diebel person" by President George H.W. Bush and someone "with a good head on her shoulders" by Noam Chomsky. They're probably both right.
