Can We Please Shut the Washington Post Down Now for Good?

Round 1:

Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart used a tweet from Rep. Jack Kimble of California as a launching pad for a blog post on who is to blame for the current federal deficits...

Round 2:

There is no Rep. Jack Kimble; that Twitter account is a spoof...

Round 3: The Washington Oost's Chris Cilizza:

Twitter holds real peril for political reporters, too.... Jonathan Capehart.... [T]he double-edged sword that is Twitter.... The immediacy that has turned Twitter into an international phenomenon... presents major challenges for journalists trying to live by the "trust but verify" credo...

It is not Twitter's fault that Washington Post reporters have no clue how to do their jobs.

Why oh why can't we have a better press corps?
