Barr reports, “The editor, Erin Marquis, had joined Wirecutter in July as lead editor for a section of the reviews site.
“On Dec. 2, two days after a high school student shot and killed four classmates in Michigan, Marquis posted a message on Twitter criticizing a group called Great Lakes Gun Rights for urging supporters to oppose gun control legislation proposed in the aftermath of the shooting.
“‘Just got a news release from the Great Lakes Gun Rights organization about protecting gun rights from democrats in Michigan and I am literally shaking with rage,’ wrote Marquis, who has since deleted her Twitter account following online criticism that she had violated journalism standards by promoting a political viewpoint. ‘I hope there is a God and they meet that God someday.’ She also tweeted out a phone number and email address for the group, which is the Michigan state affiliate of the National Association for Gun Rights.”
