Jonah complains about how people took issue with him not being outraged enough, or he's charged with hypocrisy for being less severe against Kessler than he is about other Conservatives. He laments that's it's not good enough that he criticized Kessler.

He didn't actually criticize Kessler. For any reason. Read his tweet, and his subsequent tweets on Kessler. Hell, search through his entire account about outrage at Kessler. Show it to me. I'll wait. I'll save you the time. It's not there.

Lastly, he says he made the assumption that Kessler might be decent enough to recognize he made a mistake. Why, in 2021, would Jonah Goldberg still think Glenn Kessler is worth trusting as a Conservative? WaPo fact-checking ha been an abysmal nightmare of political hackery.
The core gripe has ALWAYS been that Jonah Goldberg, for some unfathomable reason, has trusted Glenn Kessler. That's the root issue. Everything else is derivative. Hence there isn't even criticism, much less outrage. It was never about the outrage. That's a red herring.
Jonah could give an an active criticism, rather than a passive and unbelievable "well maybe he'd do it differently" remark that's not even critical. There's a difference. He doesn't have to be outraged at Glenn Kessler. That wouldn't change anyways.
