Twitter is some kind of social Darwinism. Only the intelligent will survive its continued use, the rest will die off, one by one.
That was fast. And well-deserved!
Nir Rosen, was up until yesterday a journalist who was known for covering the Iraq war.
Until Wednesday Morning, he was also a fellow at the NYU Center on Law and Security.
That was before Rosen thought it was smart and funny to take to Twitter following news of Lara Logan's brutal attack in Egypt and...make fun of her.
Yes.
His first tweet: "Lara Logan had to outdo Anderson. Where was her buddy McCrystal.”
His second: “Yes yes its wrong what happened to her. Of course. I don’t support that. But, it would have been funny if it happened to Anderson too”
As if he had the virtual runs, it just didn't stop — Rosen then called Logan a "war monger," said he was "rolling his eyes" at the attention she would get.
As you might imagine the response from the Internet was swift and harsh. And Rosen subsequently deleted some (but not all!) of the Tweets. Not that that matters in the age of the Internet.
In less than 24 hours, he was apologizing profusely, and finally resigned from his fellowship.
