The Internet's latest outrage is CNN's Fredricka Whitfield calling the Dallas police shooter "courageous and brave" during an interview. Never mind that the comment was extemporaneous and she seemed to recognize instantly that it was the wrong thing to have said, qualifying it immediately. Never mind that the statement is technically accurate, as Bill Maher would point out. It doesn't fit with our binary narrative of good guys vs. bad guys, so the Internet is demanding her head. I have no love for CNN or Whitfield, but I'd rather see her jeered for being lousy at her job in general, than fired for speaking poorly off the top of her head. Can we all please dial the outage down from the maximum?
