Once again, Big Journalism is treating a right-wing extremist as a regular guy.

As @joshtpm explains, Pentagon leaker Teixeira has loudly expressed beliefs that come straight from the extremists' rancid traditions -- almost a reincarnation of Oklahoma City bomber Tim McVeigh.

So why does the Washington Post treat him with absurd deference?

It's terrible journalism, and also business as usual.
