    Jeet Heer Retweeted Kathleen Geier

    Based on the available evidence, this seems rights. Edelstein made a terrible joke but he also quickly apologized for it. Shouldn't be a fireable offence.https://twitter.com/Kathy__Gee/status/1068132010739281920 …

    Firing David Edelstein was a bad move. I hope NPR reconsiders. In my life I've said & written lots of things that came out wrong, sounded nasty, & that I immediately regretted. It's scary to think that any of us could be one bad joke away from being fired. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/david-edelstein-fired-from-nprs-fresh-air-over-rape-joke/ …

        It wasn't very 'woke' when they formally made a deal with HRC to refer to Hillary as the presumptive nominee and trash Bernie Sanders. NPR is heroin for people too dull to do drugs. It makes them feel like good about themselves but really just makes everything worse.

        I feel like a genuine desire to articulate complexities would rarely (if ever) result in trying to get someone fired.

        the available evidence is that Edelstein has been a gross creep in his actual reviews for years. this was overdue

        Wage workers in "at will employment" states are always one joke away from being fired. That's like 70% of workers. The joke doesn't even need to be bad.
