I think some of Biddle's writing and conduct has been awful, but he's written of having anxiety and depression, and even that weren't the case, these kinds of personal attacks on staff writers are unfair.
Better to criticize the publishers who encourage that behaviour, and perhaps exploit the writer's flaws for the traffic and drama it generates.
- closeparen 8y agoI don’t think it’s a personal attack to say that someone is telling the truth about the crusade he’s on. It’s your right to be an activist about whatever topic you want. I’m less amused that The Intercept sponsors it as reporting. Ideologically motivated writing targeted at the things I care about is fine, from a columnist who is part of an interesting stable of columnists. I don’t need NYT to fire Douthat. But they have the good sense not to make him an LGBT issues reporter.
