Axios national correspondent Jonathan Swan was outraged by the ouster of Alexi McCammond as Teen Vogue editor over decade-old tweets, saying Friday it didn't speak well for the media industry to not accept a sincere apology. McCammond, who worked alongside Swan for four years at Axios, announced Thursday she and Teen Vogue had parted ways after the staff objected to offensive tweets she sent as a teenager in 2011, which included derogatory remarks about Asians. Despite apologizing then and also now to upset left-wing Teen Vogue staffers, she became yet another cancel culture victim, losing her job before her tenure had officially started. Swan also tweeted about the firing on Thursday, asking "where the hell are we as an industry" that McCammond wouldn't get a second chance. Journalists from across the political spectrum agreed, but Teen Vogue staffers, in the end, got their way.
