Ya, she’s the girl who suggested Juan Williams needed to see a psychiatrist about his Islamophobia.

I think it’s such poetic justice, that liberal NPR, allegedly so tolerant, were intolerant of a Juan Williams who was not liberal enough for them.

But on the other hand, allegedly racist bigoted intolerant Fox News hired him to provide contrasting more liberal opinions on their allegedly biased intolerant racist network.

‘Twitter’s head of news’

You have got to be kidding me! The Twitterverse has a Head of NEWS?? I think she made that up to pretend she had something else to do.

Twitter doesn’t really do news aside from making announcements about the site. News on twitter is pretty much handled by users.

I’m guessing she had the same problem every other liberal has with Twitter. They won’t silence us filthy conservatives.

Wow. The O’Keefe exposé led to her resigning from NPR and she fell into this cush job @ twitter. They sure do take care of their own on the left.
