to keep their places at the Trump feeding trough.

The thing that struck me is Wolf’s last line about “Flint still doesn’t have clean water.” and then here’s the news media trying to play the moral high ground by lambasting her performance, when there’s actual news to be reported. Like seriously, why the fuck doesn’t Flint have clean water yet?!?

I’m disgusted with these women too. What is wrong with us? Are we all supposed to act “ladylike” and with the utmost decorum, even when part of our job demands otherwise? I mean, wtf? She’s a comedian. She has a resume. If you wanted some oatmeal comedian, you should have hired one. There are plenty. And, I’m sorry,…

But Dotardo is free to say whatever he likes whenever he feels like it. Fuck him, fuck SHS and fuck the whole ridiculous double standard that defines the flabby orange weirdo.

No, I think it was more that the correspondents framed it that way to distract from the fact Wolf called them out, quite clearly, as being the cause of this mess, then profiting off of it.

By framing it as an attack against SHS, they can make her and Trump feel like the media is coming to their side, and distract from…

Why does it matter that she’s a woman and a mother?!!!! I’m so damn sick of celebrities using motherhood to wash away the horrible things they’ve done. Brezinski’s an idiot.

And they leapt right on the ‘Sarah is ugly’ grenade even though nobody pulled the pin on that one.

She called out the press, which is what they’re really bitter about, and which is why they’re latching on to the Republican Outrage Machine and all this deeply bogus shit about Sarah Sanders, including all those attacks on Sarah’s physical appearance that actually didn’t happen, but never mind, these are Washington…

Exactly. Had it been as inappropriate as they’re making out, it would so so whether or not she had 20 kids or 0. She has an identity beyond who she married or birthed.

I still don’t understand how that literally seconds (based on network delay) is so critical to each network. They will run each other’s feeds when needed. The only reason I would imagine they are tripping over their dicks to defend this cunt is that if you get kicked from the press room, their status gets reset to…

Her most cutting joke came at the end, when the 32-year-old comic took direct aim at the journalists in the room. Mr. Trump, she said, “has helped you sell your papers and your books and your TV. You helped create this monster and now you are profiting from him.”

We were warned that our institutions wouldn’t save us. None proved that as fast as journalists.

“Watching a wife and mother be humiliated on national television for her looks is deplorable ... All women have a duty to unite when these attacks happen and the WHCA owes Sarah an apology.”

Everyone pretending the jokes were about SHS’s appearance is projecting like crazy. They privately think and even joke about Sanders’ looks constantly and so read any comments about her through that lens.

FUCKING PREACH. Do these journalists not read the stories they write? How were they expecting a comedian to respond to an administration that is explicitly racist, xenophobic, homophobic, and anti-women? Michelle Wolf gave a biting critique not only of an awful regime but also of the media personalities who enabled…

The worst one was Andrea Mitchell.

There is a lot of gross implications in what Mika said. It sounds like if a woman does what society expects they will be protected. Frankly, if that is the case it doesn’t apply to all women who are wives and mothers.

This is like the fucking twilight zone.

So none of these journalists demand an apology from Trump when he says seriously horrible things? Do you call him out he doesn’t have a sense of decency or purpose about his job?

Agreed. I did not interpret the “Aunt Lydia” comment as a comment on appearance at all. Maybe they haven’t seen “Handmaid’s Tale” and just Googled “Aunt Lydia” after the dinner and made their own assumptions?
