Fists are flying at the Washington Post, mostly lefts

Details are sparse, but it’s been confirmed that fists flew in the Washington Post’s newsroom. FishbowlDC reports the details of this ultimate hostile work environment:

Fishbowl spoke with the paper’s HR Monday morning “and confirmed that both reporters are still employed at the paper.”

Washington Post’s Director of Communications Kris Coratti: “I can’t discuss private personnel matters but that doesn’t mean we haven’t taken this incident seriously and addressed it appropriately.”

Apparently, Roig-Franzia elicited the reaction by saying, “Henry, don’t be such a c***sucker.” Executive editor Marcus Brauchli “was then forced to intervene.”

The lesson to be learned from this?

Never tell a reporter not to be a c***sucker. It’s their basic nature.
