Wash Post editor says controversial piece was 'tongue-in-cheek'

On the front of Sunday's Outlook section, in the Washington Post, two articles were placed under the banner, "Women vs. Women."

It's the second piece, titled "We Scream, We Swoon. How Dumb Can We Get?" by Charlotte Allen that immediately fired up the blogosphere, and prompted Media Matters to get involved.

"If it insulted people, that was not the intent," Outlook editor John Pomfret told me this morning, calling the piece "tongue-in-cheek."

Note the comments section.
