LA Daily News media critic Tom Hoffarth appeared to take an unsolicited shot at Michelle Beadle over Twitter Wednesday, and the ESPN personality responded with a solid comeback.
In sharing the news that USC’s Annenberg School of Journalism hired Willow Bay — a female media veteran — as its new director, Hoffarth decided to include Beadle for who knows what reason.
And somehow @MichelleDBeadle was passed over. http://t.co/86qR7ZTJVF

Beads only needed two minutes to work up this retort:
.@tomhoffarth bitterness is not a good look as we get older. Have a great Wednesday.

And then she tacked this on for good measure:
.@tomhoffarth yikes. 1 mention of you, and my dm's blow up with the disdain you've earned from many in this business. I had no idea #poorguy

Hoffarth is a media critic, so it’s natural for him to have many media figures dislike him. But we don’t get the shot at Beadle. Then again, it’s not like Hoffarth has needed a reason to go after female personalities in the past.
