If liberal media outlets want to cheer Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg’s decision to fire Kevin Williamson over his controversial statements on abortion, they could at do so honestly. But Slate can’t even manage that:

Because who has time for context, right?
Even if you agree with Williamson's firing, this headline is downright deceptive https://t.co/TmRYwPlZ4z

This headline is so dang misleading/deceptive, @Slate. I feel I should expect better from newspeople.

There’s your problem: You shouldn’t expect better from Slate.
