The decision came just prior to her official departure to The Atlantic.

Is The Atlantic still planning to employ this woman, or do they still practice some small semblance of journalistic standards?

As poster “proust” points out, she is working at Atlantic so this is another case of “pass the trash” to keep them fully employed.

But not we will talk about it as a ‘developing news’ item, for weeks.

Really hoping they do sue her.

The left knows they are a result of inbreeding and thing everyone else is too.

“doo doo” is he correct term for this reporter. Where do they find people like this?

Wemple reported just after 7:00 p.m. Eastern on Twitter that The Atlantic has decided not to take any further action against Ioffe because they’re “confident” she will not stray from the magazine’s standards of conduct. Additionally, Wemple stated that The Atlantic was comfortable with Ioffe’s apologies in the hours since her incest tweet.

Atlantic's position is it's OK to express hatred of deplorable Americans INSIDE the newsroom - but NOT outside the 'cool kids circle' of media elites.

Proving a vulgar tweet having a dollar value & then claiming an economic loss is like swearing in a bar but falsely thinking it’s a bloody nose, but it’s not. The only thing that might stick is a “death threat”, if there was one. I would not waste high priced lawyers on dog barking.
