Okay, first read this:
Beyond the sober reality of job loss, in which only the most heartless and anonymous blog-world gadflies take glee, last week’s exposure and subsequent hand-wringing over Hobbs’ tacky handiwork were colored and complicated by a host of entanglements.
Ahh, the sweet voice of reason. Nobody should take glee in another's misfortune. I'll bet she was responding to this bit:
How many bloggers actually have jobs? We don’t know, except to say one fewer now than before.That’s because a poor blogging sap who’d made his bed—only to be snugly tucked in by the Scene—lost his job at Belmont University last week.
You can almost imagine the writer cackling with glee as they wrote it. Not only do they get in one more jab at Bill, but they get to take a swipe at all of blogdom at the same time. It's nice to see the editor of the Scene acknowledging that openly reveling in another man's misfortune is inappropriate behavior for a real journalist.
Just one problem; she wrote both quotes. In the same piece. And within 3 paragraphs.
So much for real journalism at the Scene.
