The Post’s Gene Weingarten writes on Twitter: “They are piling on a kid for something she didn’t write for publication. …That’s low.”
Washington photographer Melissa Golden tells Weingarten: “But I bet she’s never going to misspell a name ever again. One can only hope this may transform her into an uber-journo.”
