I feel the need to explain this tweet

Mary Katherine Ham was attacked as a "liar" because of her Fox News career.  She responded with this napalm firebombing:

It's amusing to me that someone who edited TNR is sensitive about potential fabulism. See how dumb this can get? Just mad bc I'm not a liar. https://t.co/fI0P9SEEqn

So, according to Twitchy, Mr. Chotiner deleted his embarrassing tweet.  For the record, the New Republic got caught up in "the most spectacular, sustained campaign of fabrication known to American journalism" when it got taken in by Stephen Glass.
