My understanding in that profession, your personal life and your career are not that separate when you are making statements when you are covering an event as a journalist. It sounds like he took a conversation and tweeted it, rather than asking all the parties if the information was even true. And he is an AP writer, not a columnist. If that would not be acceptable in his job, I doubt his opinion would be acceptable here.
