New York Magazine business columnist Josh Barro can’t seem to understand how there are people out there who have problems with the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman.
Maggie’s great! Everyone should love her!
And if you’re not a reporter yourself, you’re really in no position to criticize her:
If you're all so convinced you'd be such better reporters than Maggie Haberman, why aren't you reporters?

Maybe she’s just not that good at journalisming as you think she is, Josh.
Wonder how she got the job pic.twitter.com/pS5GpdSZVJ

I don't have a dad who was a famous reporter for the same paper.

Hmmm
"Haberman was born on October 30, 1973, in New York City, the daughter of Clyde Haberman, who became a longtime journalist for The New York Times, and Nancy Haberman (née Spies), a media communications executive at Rubenstein Associates."

It’s possible that that may have had something to do with Maggie Haberman’s career.
Logically sound argument. Can't find any flaws in the thinking here. Nice work.

Rock-solid.
This is tantamount to saying that nobody should ever be held accountable by someone who doesn’t have their job.
There is no way you think this. You wouldn’t apply it to politicians, police, or even football coaches. You reserve this for your own profession though.

Idiotic argument. I don't have to be a licensed mechanic to know that when my car engine is smoking that there is something wrong. https://t.co/so9fz7XcJG

This is logically fallacious. You can criticize someone's work even if you don't think you would be better at that work. Do you think we couldn't criticize a school bus driver if we don't drive school buses? Or that we couldn't criticize a lawyer if we're not lawyers?

If you think you’d do a better job than trump why aren’t you the president?

Put your money where your mouth is, Josh.
Here’s a crazy thought… Maybe people criticize someone who is paid to produce a product for public consumption because that product is often flawed.

So crazy, it could be true!
Do you guys ever do anything but complain?!? The MSM constantly sneers down at the everyday American, but you sure get your panties in a wad when we return your disdain. pic.twitter.com/kyFqSdaJH1
