Jake Tapper Confronts Ex-WaPo Editor for Suspending Reporter over Kobe Bryant Tweet: It ‘Was Journalism’

EXCERPT:

TAPPER: "But unless you’re just going to ban everybody on your staff from tweeting and social media posts completely, I still just don’t understand what she did wrong. I mean, look, I’m from Philadelphia, okay? Kobe Bryant went to Lower Merion High School, his dad coached at my high school, the girls' varsity basketball. I want to believe the myth about Kobe Bryant, too. But there is this ugly incident in 2003. I don’t want to think about it, and I certainly didn’t want to think about it after he died, but what Felicia did is journalism."
