When the author and New York Times Op-Ed columnist David Brooks decided to thumb a tweet complaining about the price of his 78 dollar Newark Airport meal, he had no idea that the cost to his reputation would be even higher.

"This is why Americans think the economy is terrible," he captioned a photo of a standard burger and fries. But even the less observant viewers instantly noticed that something was off; namely his glass of whisky on the rocks.
