WaPo reporter: Mocking reporter for misidentifying ear plugs is a 'cheap shot'

The Washington Post’s Jerry Markon wants you to leave the “courageous” Ryan Reilly alone. Making fun of someone misidentifying ear plugs as rubber bullets is a “cheap shot” apparently.

When someone’s life experience does not include a basic piece of safety equipment used in any number of professions, what else is it missing? And how does that color the “news” they report?

The folks at #breitbart take a cheap shot at @ryanjreilly, whose coverage of #Ferguson has been courageous: http://t.co/nsuGVADi9S

Cheap shot? When someone walks into a door, you can’t seriously accuse the door of taking a cheap shot.
