Dark humour is forbidden to journalists now?

[QUOTE=TylerWindings;41876228]That man should not loose his job for a "shitty" tweet. And, those that are outraged are obviously "very sensitive people," and, they should be deemed too unstable to use the internet. At worst he just gave a "low-brow" blow to the whole situation. At best, he was simply commenting on the situation and worded it poorly. He shouldn't loose his job over it.[/QUOTE]
Why are you using air quotes when they aren't even euphemisms?

There's a joke here about Wikileaks and freedom of the press.

He wasn't joking though, as seen from the follow-up tweets he didn't delete:

Then after getting a bunch of negative feedback he gives us this post:

And he gets even more negative feedback for it:

All these tweets as of 8/18/2013, 11:11 AM EST are still up, and you can view them [url=https://twitter.com/MikeGrunwald/with_replies]here[/url].
[QUOTE=BrickInHead;41876829]honestly that tweet reads extremely sarcastically, saying "can't wait to write the defense" seriously screams criticism about journalism and TIME encouraging him to take a stance that's pro-obama.[/QUOTE]
Nope, amazing as it is, there exist people with these opinions.
I weep for humanity. There is no hope.

Europe's cover is slightly lighter than the Asian and Pacific ones.

He has been in the Ecuadorian embassy in London. And always has been.
