Douchetastic: Matt Yglesias publishes Daily Caller reporter's personal info; Update: Call him, maybe

@mattyglesias are you a reporter?

— Dylan Byers (@DylanByers) July 12, 2013

No, but he is a jackass.

There is evidently no low too low for Matt Yglesias:

LOL! Publishing reporters’ personal information is hilarious! Particularly if they work for that icky Daily Caller:

So mature.

@mattyglesias Is that not a reasonable line of inquiry?

@mattyglesias In that case, I'd like to know the answers as well.

— Dylan Byers (@DylanByers) July 12, 2013

Oh, snap!

@mattyglesias And mocking legitimate inquiries from a reporter, plus publishing their phone number, is per se pathetic.

— Dylan Byers (@DylanByers) July 12, 2013

Extremely pathetic.

He claims he doesn’t do very much reporting? We can’t argue with that. And anyway, it’s probably tough to make time for reporting when you’re so busy being a colossal douchenozzle.

Just pathetic.

@mattyglesias @DylanByers A quick glance at the list of Caller alumni would disprove that, but proceed with your dickishness. It's great.

Basically.

I mean, @MattYglesias once said lying is perfectly fine in order to advance an agenda, so is his being a dick really a surprise?

Update:

Yglesias whines:

Except it wasn’t an office phone number:

Still think releasing someone’s private number’s no big deal, Matty? Prove it:

Then post yours, Slappy. RT @mattyglesias Folks, your office phone number is not “personal information.”

— jon gabriel (@exjon) July 12, 2013

@mattyglesias then put your office number out there playboy?

— Pope of Capitalism (@jmarkwalk) July 12, 2013

We’ll wait.

Update:

Matty’s feeling chatty:

So call him, maybe. But only during business hours.

Bold, giving out your biz # RT @mattyglesias: Done for today, but I’m at 202-261-2062 if anyone wants to get in touch during biz hours
