Gibson and Stone are both guilty of indulging in rank anti-Semitism (for which both promptly “apologized’’), but only Gibson was buried under a newsroom avalanche of outrage and disgust.

Surely they wouldn’t overlook Stone’s noxious rant just because he is a pluperfect left-wing activist.Read the whole thing.
Surely that can’t be the explanation for so disgraceful a double standard.
Can it?
Does anyone have a better explanation?
