The Washington Post has fired national political reporter Felicia Sonmez, The Daily Beast has confirmed, capping off a week’s worth of highly public drama at the paper. The Post declined to comment. Sonmez declined to comment.


quote:

The seemingly unending dramatics began late last week when political reporter Dave Weigel retweeted a sexist post about bisexual women. He later apologized but not before Sonmez publicly called him out along with the paper’s management, writing, “Fantastic to work at a news outlet where retweets like this are allowed!”

Horse face.

If you made me have to say something nice about her, at least she’s not a fatty.

Apparently, going to social media to handle your personal issue with another employee causes a chain reaction that causes all work to come to a halt.

One report I saw said that internal HR memos were getting leaked and reporters were having a hard time talking to sources...all linked to this episode.

I hope she sues WaPo and gets enough of a judgment to put them out of business. Not because I think she’s right or I like her. I think she’s a miserable count. I just want the propaganda rag WaPo put out of business.

I’m not sure having her sue her company for firing her for being a nuisance employee and winning, thus establishing precedent for employee termination law...to own the libs...is a workable strategy.

Damn she’s a dramatic, toxic woman. She lashed out at anyone and everyone and even sued upper executives while continuing to work there. Idk why anyone would employee someone like that. She complains that the workplace culture was “toxic”, but it appears she was the most toxic thing there

They probably heard from Bezos to fire her arse. She is a nut case.

Both Taylor Lorenz and the libs of Tik Tok woman are horrible people. Both support fascist cancel culture when it benefits them, and vice versa.
