Chris Cilliza blocks media critic on Twitter

Chris Cilliza, whose video segment in the Washington Post was cancelled a few years ago for calling Hillary Clinton a bitch (along with Dana Milbank), has blocked journalism professor and media critic Jay Rosen on Twitter. Rosen has criticized Cilliza's flawed coverage of the Clinton emails.

racially based name still be permitted to cover him? Or what if a reporter called Sanders an anti Semitic name, would he or she still be covering Sanders? Why is Cilliza still permitted to cover Clinton?

The nicknames are not important because nobody knows them. Journalists blocking media critics if important, unless you are not fond of Hillary, in which case you will have motivation to downplay embarrassing behavior from Hillary hating gossip pseudojournalists.

Milbank apparently reported an Obama quote out of context, and KO wasn't having the gratuitous snark. They kissed and made up later.

When I read that you went to an elite prep school everything you write makes sense.

Have a nice weekend.
