Weigel Writes Late-Night Apology Note to GOP Aides

In anticipation of today’s Daily Caller story, WaPo‘s Dave Weigel wrote a late-night email (below) to GOP aides and conservative bloggers Friday morning at 12:22 a.m.

We at FishbowlDC question why Weigel continues airing his political laundry. If you’re a reporter, you’re supposed to be objective. We shouldn’t know if he voted for Ron Paul, President Obama or David Hasselhoff. If you’re going to be reporting on any political movement, you are supposed to take an unbiased approach.

The e-mail from Weigel:
