Protesting too much
Subtle social media gaffe: Matt Yglesias says Third Way’s “domestic policy agenda is hyper-timid incrementalist bullshit.” Jennifer Palmieri, acting CEO for American Progress Action Fund (the organization behind Yglesias’ blog), posts an apology. Julian Sanchez calls this a “spectacular act of institutional tone deafness.” On Twitter, Jay Rosen advises social media consultants: “study this Yglesias thing. A cautionary tale for clients.”
