WaPo: The Perfect Setting for the Office Redux

by AltHippo @ 10:10 pm. Filed under Uncategorized

I’m sure that like you, I saw this quote from (allegedly) Ben Domenech, and wondered about a few things. Here’s the quote:

I just have this specific and deep-rooted dislike for everything Dan Froomkin says and does. He’s one of the dozen or so people in the world that I just detest - along with Noam Chomsky, Eric Alterman, Louis Farrakhan, Barbra Streisand, Kate Michelman, Mitch Albom, Michael Irvin, David Duke, Peter Singer, and Rick Reilly.

Now, I have no idea what the hiring practises are at the Washington Post. Usually, if you interview somewhere, and you tell the interviewer that you have “deep-rooted dislike” for the staff, you get written off pretty quickly. On the other hand, that could make for an interesting news room. Perhaps Jim Brady is trying to create a staff where new hires have nothing but contempt for the old hands.

Ricky Gervais, are you listening? This could be the start of a whole new “Office” spin off. A news room, where only the worse case toadies get hired. It could be hysterical.

    Doesn’t the omission of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden indicate that Ben is a terrorist sympathizer?
