Post's Wise Suspended for Hoax Tweet

I just looked at his twitter page- that moron still hasn't taken down the tweet in question. He did call himself an idiot. At least he's aware of his status.

Mike Wise (MikeWiseguy) on Twitter (http://twitter.com/mikewiseguy)

I honestly back his decision to leave it up. A visible scar is humbling.

I get what you're saying, but he already apologized live on the radio today, and tweeted apologies and called himself an idiot. Isn't that enough?

Sure, but would deleting it really save face for him? Not at all.

I agree it was dumb for a guy who seems to have a good thing going for him and risking with this move was not Wise (pun intended)...But, he did prove his point. Media today will scoop up anything and report it without credible sources. He threw a bone and it got gobbled up. He was correct. I am not supporting what he did but I agree with the guy.

No it wouldn't save any face at all. That's not why I think he should delete it. He should delete if because it's false and just seriously jeopardized his career and credibility.

If a public figure gets arrested and it becomes public knowledge, does that person walk around with that arrest record taped to his/her back? Hell no. Everyone already knows about it. Do your best to put it behind you and move on.

Holy cow what a dope move. I get that Wise is a wise-cracking type goofball but I always thought he seemed like a self-aware intelligent guy. How he thought this was a good idea...and nobody around him voiced objection is baffling.

Well when you dint hear it directly from the horse's mouth you should always get at least two sources to verify. Still, upon until yesterday he was considered a credible source. So he really didn't prove much of anything

I never really looked at Wise as a source or a reporter.. just more of a columnist with an opinion

In the twitter world it's already dead as a submission, the only time that it will be seen is the reports linking to it. I was actually surprised to see it still up once I heard about it though.

I think that's exactly what he is saying...The story got picked up and reported even without a source. I don't know if you can qualify Wise as a source since he is more of a columnist than a reporter.
