Breitbart:
CNN politics editor at large Chris Cillizza took part in a Reddit AMA where he was promptly ridiculed by Redditors and journalists alike.
Cillizza posted to the /r/AMA (Ask Me Anything) subreddit Tuesday, saying, “Hi everyone, I’m Chris Cillizza, editor at large for CNN Politics. I haven’t been here long – but I’ve been covering politics forever, mostly at The Washington Post and before that at Roll Call. At the Post, I started their politics blog, The Fix, which they still use. Here at CNN, we recently launched The Point with Chris Cillizza, a multiplatform brand that helps you cut through the crap. Check it out here. I like the Internet and I like politics. I also like pro wrestling. And Dawson’s Creek. And the Washington Nationals.”
Almost immediately Cillizza was criticized by Reddit users and journalists that appeared in the AMA to ask Cillizza some of their own questions. As a result, the AMA was locked by Reddit moderators after approximately 4 hours of questions and less than 500 upvotes. Many of the questions were deleted by Reddit moderators but luckily could be recovered using the Reddit archiving tool Ceddit.
Fusion staff writer Libby Watson chimed in at one point, asking Cillizza, “Why do you think so many other journalists think you suck?”
Attention Libby Watson! Pay attention to yer phraseology.
Next time ask him: “Why do you think so many other journalists think you just can’t suck enough?”
I blew coffee out of my nose reading his personal profile. Sounded like a dating ad for lonely homosexuals. They had to shut it down because of the comments. Hahahaha
The man must live in a thick fog of self awareness to think this would be a good idea.
He might as well have been wearing the big red CNN blockhead.
What an asshole! I hope he gets ridiculed whenever he shows his face in public.
Punchable face. Even on Reddit.
“…a dating ad for lonely homosexuals…”
That’s half the D.C. media establishment.
Truthfully, I have never heard of him. My TV has an aversion for CNN.
💢 CNN goes on REDDIT 💢
When will the long series of GAFFS ever end for these people?
*gaffes
D’oh!
