Journalists: Your Moral and Intellectual Superiors

"The new Washington bureau chief of the Jerusalem Post and former intern to Anderson Cooper and New York Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer once assaulted a woman and resisted arrest, according to police logs from 2010 and 2011."

"Nor was this Wilner’s first brush with the law. Wilner was also arrested in October 2010. He spent the night in a Claremont city jail for resisting arrest and for drunk and disorderly behavior. Bail was set at $10,000...The victim, whom The Daily Caller has chosen not to name, testified that Wilner struck her because he wanted her spot on the dance floor."

"Reached for comment by email, Steve Linde, the editor of the Jerusalem Post, confirmed that he had hired Wilner. Linde did not respond to a subsequent email asking if he knew that Wilner had an assault record, raising serious questions as to whether the Post vetted him before it hired him."

"Wilner graduated from Columbia Journalism School in 2012."

Has nobody at the Post heard of Google? Or Twitter?

Took me only a couple of clicks to find these links.
