Is this REALLY appropriate behavior from a professional journalist?

    I'm not a fan of pulling the firing trigger so soon, which seems to be all the rage these days.

    But there would be a discussion, and likely some kind of action that costs him money.

    Yeah, my answer was meant to be predictive, i.e addressing what they will do, not what they should do.

    I can't see being stuck in the '50s as anything that will hurt Cowley's relationship with his sources or with many of his readers. They're as likely to appreciate someone who remembers the good old days.

    Was wondering the same. Soon as I read it was Cowley, I thought, "BFD."

    Just because a person exhibits this sort of behavior often, it should never become "BFD."

    Agreed. I'm not condoning it, but, it's like Metta World Peace getting into a fight on the court ... so expected.

    Yeah, that's what I meant.

    I refuse to refer to that person by that stupid name.

    And now it seems Cowley's twitter account (@cst_cowley) has been deleted apparently.

    Well, I'm sort of seeing that, and then I'm sorta not:

    https://twitter.com/#!/cst_Cowley

    That still seems to show an active account.

    But

    https://twitter.com/cst_Cowley

    Doesn't exist anymore.

    UPDATE: Now neither exists.

    Perhaps the better question is this: Will he be fired?
