“I WILL DESTROY YOU”: BIDEN AIDE THREATENED A POLITICO REPORTER PURSUING A STORY ON HIS RELATIONSHIP

People revealed that White House Deputy Press Secretary TJ Ducklo is dating Axios political reporter Alexi McCammond, who covered the Joe Biden campaign. But behind the scenes, Ducklo had previously lashed out at Politico reporter Tara Palmeri, who was reporting the story, exhibiting behavior that led to tense meetings between the Washington news outlet’s editors and senior White House officials.

I’ve worked with @alexi for four years. I know her well and can say this unequivocally: The idea she is racist is absurd. Where the hell are we as an industry if we cannot accept a person’s sincere and repeated apologies for tweets when they were a teenager?

Teen Vogue Editor Resigns After Fury Over Racist Tweets

The hiring of Alexi McCammond, who was supposed to start at the Condé Nast publication next week, drew complaints because of racist and homophobic tweets she had posted a decade ago.

Alexi McCammond, who made her name as a politics reporter at the Washington news site Axios, had planned to start as the editor in chief of Teen Vogue next Wednesday. Now, after Teen Vogue staff members publicly condemned racist and homophobic tweets Ms. McCammond had posted a decade ago, she has resigned from the job.

Condé Nast, Teen Vogue’s publisher, announced the abrupt turn on Thursday in an internal email that was sent amid pressure from the publication’s staff, readers and at least two advertisers, just two weeks after the company had appointed her to the position.

“After speaking with Alexi this morning, we agreed that it was best to part ways, so as to not overshadow the important work happening at Teen Vogue,” Stan Duncan, the chief people officer at Condé Nast, said in the email, which was obtained by The New York Times.

It's completely insane. As I explain here, if anything, this should make people less likely to apologize for bad things they said. Why bother, if there's no forgiveness anyway?

1st they came for Alex Jones and I didn’t speak up because he’s a nut bag. Then they came for Covington Kids and I didn’t speak up because they were smug. Then they came for Naomi Wolf & Bari Weiss & the President. By the time we got to Alexi the guff was empty.

I mean, the industry has essentially adopted the Media Matters model of pressuring sponsors to dropping tv shows they don't like. Maybe legitimatizing that was a bad idea.

MMFA is cited by mainstream outlets. CNN pretty much copied them with Stelter & Darcy trying to get people kicked off twitter and reporting on nothing but fox. CNN went after a random gifmaker on Reddit and a senior citizen with a facebook group. You guys created this.

Media outlets see money and clicks in salacious destruction of peoples lives. Social media incentivizes them to do this. But sure guys, keep telling me they aren't the problem. You'll figure this out or you won't.
