Just because he's focused more on his columns now doesn't mean he's not a reporter. He's been a reporter for major media (NY Times, Washington Post) for over 15 years. He put himself out there as representing the Washington Post, and as someone with access to information that not many have. I can't find any excuse in what he did.
