How disgusting and cruel. How thirsty for wordplay. Annie Linskey should be ashamed.

1. These people have no soul.

2. Washington Post Reporter Cruelly Mocks Biden Visit To Son's Grave

She removed the tweet because the backlash frightened her. She was really getting it on Twitter.

18. So many reporters these days know so little about everything, that I wonder whether

she even knew his family was buried there.

[sakabatou]

20. Well, that's an insincere apology

[Cha]

22. Rt TY & Winslow for best information.

What a fucking Dumbshit.. Annie Linskey.

Apologize to the President and FL

[LetMyPeopleVote]

3. That tweet was deleted but this reporter needs to be fired

This reporter would fit in well at the NYT which is anti-Democrat

[Kid Berwyn]

16. Journalists have lost jobs for a lot less.

Emily Wilder got canned from AP after writing in college about the uneven treatment given Israel and the Palestinian people in the US press.

4. I let her know what I think of her cruel Tweet and

non-apology.

[Hortensis]

5. I think in itself this is much ado about nothing. I don't know her,

though. What's she done for this Aliza Worthington to get out the long knives?

[hatrack]

9. She's gone full MT Greene while working as a journalist . . . .

This is the kind of shit a lot of us expect from Republicans, not from reporters for Papers Of Record.

Also, the infrastructure/BBB legislation is stalled, but "dying"? If she actually were a reporter, she might have thought this through before reducing it to 280 characters or less - but hey, it is Twitter.

The church emoji - bonus points.

[Hortensis]

23. OK, exaggeration maybe, but of course I noticed the "dying."

And certainly understand the trigger effect. I just read one of her pieces and noticed a pervasive, far more subtle, and thus effective, undermining slant than this. She triggered me also by using the insidious "moderate Democrats" term (suggesting a nonexistent "centrist" moderate faction allied with pro-business conservatives) without ever mentioning our overwhelmingly dominant liberal ideology.

This MSM swiftboaters' slander's in standard use now, and no doubt if we looked we'd find Russia and China augmenting it as well. Scary. We just can't afford lose the same voters to the same kind of demoralizing mindfucking as in 2016. People need to believe there are very good and extremely important reasons to vote Democratic.

Anyway, we take the WaPo, so at least I'll know more when I see her name.

6. Poor choice of words. She has apologized...

I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.

[PSPS]

7. She did not apologize at all. It was the usual "sorry if it offended" non-apology. She's scum.

[VarryOn]

11. I took "I'm sorry"...

To be an apology. But then again, English is my first language.

[PSPS]

13. "English is my first language"

One wouldn't know it if you equate "I'm sorry you were offended" with "I'm sorry for what I said" or, better yet, "What I said was wrong."

[VarryOn]

15. I don't equate them...

I apologize to you for being a smart ass. I certainly don't want leave the slightest impression I defend her disgusting remarks.

[Patton French]

8. Absolutely horrible.

I just don't understand what makes some people tick.

[lame54]

10. Not only rude but her point was wrong...

It's not dying - it'll pass

[Walleye]

12. I was out walking on the street across from the church he goes to.

About noon and the troopers stopped traffic for the motorcade. I think they were going to pick him up. It didn’t look like he was in any of the cars because there were no little flags. There was a large black greyhound size bus in the presidential motorcade. I wondered if that was for the press. I know they get their own Osprey when they fly with marine One.

[MustLoveBeagles]

14. Extremely ill-advised to put it mildly

If she wanted attention she's got it. Her non apology doesn't cut it and I'm sure she'll use this to play the victim.

[JonAndKatePlusABird]

17. She seems nice

From March (plus spot the grammar error!):

19. So eager for Major to die

This women is trash.

[gopiscrap]

21. she's a piece of shit

[shanti]

24. Hah! She deleted the tweet.

I was just going to leave one for her.

[malaise]

26. She said it was not meant to cause offense

She's a fucking idiot.

[shanti]

28. A non-apologetic apology

Yeah, that's the ticket...

[stillcool]

25. I remember a time when reporters

weren't supposed to take sides. They were non-political, and just reported the facts. Can't believe I was that naive.

[leftyladyfrommo]

27. I keep thinking the bar can't get any lower and then

it does.
