An intern?
A whole story on a mouthy…intern?
Why don't people hold the media in higher regard? It's a real mystery. https://t.co/Zx4rjbhztF

Stop the presses! Mediaite has a damning new scoop on GOP Sen. Tom Cotton. OK, the scoop isn’t really on Tom Cotton, but they want it to be:
EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Tom Cotton Intern Calls British 'Faggots' and Paul Ryan a 'Cuck' in Audio Recording https://t.co/64CjmEPqNl pic.twitter.com/ZkYgUgtN0D

So, Tom Cotton wasn’t actually on record as saying this stuff … but an intern was?
Intern? #whatever

You wrote an article about an intern?

Who cares what an intern says? Literally dozens of them rotate through Senate offices every season.
This shouldn’t be news.

It got me to click on the article. Before I realized "oh, Intern??" Who gives an eff?

Mediaite was kind enough to withhold the full name of “Nate” the intern “just to keep his name clean from any future employer’s Google search.” They had no such qualms about putting Cotton’s name out there.
Oh, and as Mediaite acknowledges at the end of their exposé, “Nate” is no longer working for Cotton:
No longer an intern. This is a bad Tweet intended to injure a Republican Senator who did nothing wrong. https://t.co/wt3vcFbFzg

That’s exactly what it is.
Nice garbage slanderous post naming Cotton and leaving out the name of the offender, you third rate hack. https://t.co/ZgsUV3KIpN

I can't even begin to adequately express how much bullshit this is. Name the guy or don't write it at all.

So @mediaite has an intern in a Senate office spewing. They protect his identity & name the Senator. This is craven. https://t.co/J4sM07oFnV

totally explicable. It's a hit on Tom Cotton, because, you know, @mediaite is garbage.
— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) June 21, 2017
I can blame you for running that garbage story, you fifth-rate excuse for a useless hack, you waste of infinite Internet space.
— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) June 21, 2017
Honestly, @Mediaite should pull the piece and apologize to Cotton for the ridiculous hit job. They never should have run that.
