MSM journalists are out for revenge against Michelle Wolf on Twitter

[Upstate One]

Mainstream pundits are pretending to be outraged by what they say was a mean performance by comedian Michelle Wolf at the White House correspondent dinner. But in reality, they are butthurt because Wolf said the media is secretly in love with Trump:

1. MSM was a political gift to trump before election

Instead of acknowledging their complicity, MSM lashes out. trump was and is profitable to MSM. A close election was profitable to MSM. To understand MSM, just follow the money. trump habitually projects. He knows MSM helped him win the election, so he attacks them. America has a sociopath for president, enabled by MSM caring more about profit than honest journalism.

Leslie Moonves can appreciate a Donald Trump candidacy.

Not that the CBS executive chairman and CEO might vote for the Republican presidential frontrunner, but he likes the ad money Trump and his competitors are bringing to the network.

"It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS," he said of the presidential race.

Moonves called the campaign for president a "circus" full of "bomb throwing," and he hopes it continues.

47. MSM is a gift still. Most provide cover for him or downplay and sugarcoat the shit he does.

[LuvNewcastle]

2. Fuck them.

They all deserved a lot worse. I don't feel a bit sorry for Sarah Sanders. She gets up and lies to the entire country every fucking day. She deserves no sympathy whatsoever.

[OnDoutside]

3. That and more.

[Scurrilous]

11. She lies for and defends this guy:

?w=748&h=415&crop=1

And we're supposed to outraged when someone makes a disparaging comment about her physical appearance.

Trump has a history of insulting women based on their appearances and it has continued throughout his presidential campaign and presidency.

[Scurrilous]

41. Many thanks!

[smirkymonkey]

49. Every time I see that gif I have this overwhelming urge to hit him with

a nail spiked two by four. I won't do it, but I do fantasize about it.

[elocs]

4. "Wolf said the media is secretly in love with Trump" This is like being accused of being in denial,

because when you claim you are not it is then presented as proof that you are.
Is there any chance that the fair minded in the media as well as any on the Left can review this roast as being over the top and mean no matter how much it was deserved without being accused of being Trump lovers?

[Upstate One]

7. What specific part of Wolf's performance did you dislike?

And be very specific.

[elocs]

18. It's too easy to mock and make fun of fools. No, I won't be specific.

You didn't even use the 'p' word with your demand, because it certainly didn't read like a request.

[malaise]

5. Have any of them called out the press secretary for being a pathological LIAR

That is all

[Achilleaze]

19. Not a one. They are meek little submissives as they sit before her.

Not a one of them actually ever challenges her or calls out the obvious bullshit. MSM deserves no respect. They need to do their job.

[Scurrilous]

6. The steno pool isn't pleased.

The reason Sarah didn't walk out was because dessert hadn't been served yet. Impressive!!

[Upstate One]

8. Lol

Nice.

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. Ha!

[paleotn]

35. And she's never missed a dessert in her life.

[tblue37]

10. I haven't seen the routine, so I don't know if it was inappropriate --but I do remember

stony media faces at Colbert's brilliant routine, and I remember his being criticized afterward by reporters, including for his comment about the stenographers in the press.

[tomp]

29. colbert was hysterically funny, completely appropriate, and historically courageous.

wolf, not so funny, pointed in the wrong places at times, but still courageous.

[Mike Nelson]

12. She was...

...too crude for the room, in my opinion. However, what she said about the Media and Trump was true - and, of course, they can't handle the truth.

[JI7]

13. amazing how they expect more from a female comedian than a President of the US

[treestar]

34. THIS!

A very good point!

[vercetti2021]

14. Unfuckingbelievable

I like how they don't even question the shit Trump says on a daily basis on Twitter. But when a well-deserved roasting is returned it's a fucking tragedy. They're just pissed because they know that she told the truth when they nut hug Trump because it's their fucking little cash cow.

She was right they created this monster and they continue to feed the monster

[DLevine]

15. Maybe they should be out for revenge against Trump.

He's been insulting them every minute of every day since before he stole the election.

[LSFL]

16. They seem to misunderstand the purpose of this event.

Even the kings of old had jesters to lampoon the ruling class.

[raven mad]

17. What little I got to hear (we're on real lockdown in Alaska)

She rocks.

[AJT]

20. Michelle Wolf was crude and mean. Her routine was totally inappropriate for the occasion.

The truth of it was ruined by the delivery. She knew the reaction she would get, so she is fine with it, but it was a gift to the right and we will hear about it for a while. 45 made an insane speech in Michigan, but that will get lost among the media evisceration of Wolf. This may have been funny in a comedy club, but to expect the madia and the right to laugh or take it without comment is silly. If she was aiming her crude meaness at you, you would react just the way the media and the 45 administration is reacting. Wolf did damage that will be used over and over.

[RelativelyJones]

27. But this entire administration is bitterly cruel and mean

Trump attacks private people regularly, and as the most powerful person in the world. Michelle Wolf has no power other than her words. The nastiness of this administration will not be lessened by not calling them out.

[watoos]

21. What Trump said

about John Tester, a sitting Senator, last night was far more egregious than a crass, truthful, speech by a comedian.

[grantcart]

48. Let alone what he said on the bus

[Trust Buster]

22. It wasn't just the pundits that think her performance was humorless and crass.

Her abortion non-joke was particularly painful to listen to and embarrassing to anyone in attendance.

[True Blue American]

23. Honestly you did not miss much

And if you did not see Trump you missed less. All he talked about was fear,( for him,if Democrats win,) and hate of Jon Tester.

Other wise it was the same babbling.

[Alpeduez21]

24. Nazis are walking unfettered down the street

and members of the press are butthurt b/c someone, jokingly, pointed out they are more interested in posting their byline than the truth.

[lunasun]

38. +1 Exactly !

[The Wizard]

25. They said the same things about Stephen Colbert

He's doing much better than any of the stenographers / journalists.

[Sunsky]

26. She gave them a well deserved ass whooping

and now they're proving just how correct she was about them. Go on...

[Vinca]

30. If they don't like comedy, don't hire a comedian.

[Scurrilous]

33. ...

[mountain grammy]

31. Boo fucking hoo.

The media gave us trump, she gave us the truth.

[hexola]

32. I didn't watch - and have yet to see a single clip of her routine on CNN this morning

So far - all they have done is talk about her performance - no clips, highlights or examples...

[tomp]

36. trump was once again too cowardly to attend. sanders-huckabee agreed to stand in.

she's an enabler of fascism and deserved all the political flak being handed out. Fat jokes, not so much.

[Oneironaut]

37. The butthurt is flowing freely in the MSM

The truth hurts...

If you don't want to be called fake journalists who act more like carnival barkers to the Trump side-show, then don't do that!

[Kirk Lover]

39. Everyone has a right to their opinion. Fine if they want to bitch about jokes about

appearance...FINE....but job performance Maggie..that gets you a FUCK YOU.

Celebrating journalism Jeff et al "not what it's supposed to be" ..........STFU that is not what this shit is ABOUT so stop playing like it is.

If it's NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT then why do you have comics roasting fuckers each year.

So fucking righteous.

[spanone]

42. From David Corn:

Link to tweet

Whatever one might think of Michelle Wolf's performance, it's clear that anyone who works for or supports Trump has no basis for complaining about vulgarity or personal insults. Your house is made of very thin glass.

[chelsea0011]

43. An administration filled with racists, 1%ers, liars, traitors, and environmental destroyers and I am

suppose to get upset by a truth telling comedian because the jokes were a little "harsh"? LOL Fuck off.

[dalton99a]

45. They should spend more time talking about the president's speech last night.

The crazy asshole is shitting on us every day, and they're complaining about some comedienne's performance?

[Generic Brad]

46. She was fearless

She expressed the anger many of us feel. Her act was more about speaking truth to power than comedy.
