WaPo's Wemple Calls Out Daily Caller Reporter
WaPo media opinion writer Erik Wemple took The Daily Caller‘s Alex Pappas to task today for a story that outs journalists who have donated to President Obama‘s reelection effort. Pappas included Elizabeth Wiener, who writes for Current Newspapers. She donated $500 in May and again in June. He also includes reporters from HuffPost, NYT, Current TV and NBC News.
The fight in a nutshell: Wemple maintains Pappas’ story reaches preposterous proportions since Weiner doesn’t cover national politics, nor do the publications for which she works, which include the Dupont Current, a local rag that covers things like missing dogs and colorful happenings in Dupont Circle.
