The White House Correspondents’ Association has now issued an official statement on comedian Michelle Wolf’s scathing attack on Trump’s press secretary Sarah Sanders at this weekend’s annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

The nearly 20-minute monologue was condemned by many, though in our polarized political atmosphere, Wolf also found many supporters. Not among them, however, was White House Correspondents’ Association president Margaret Talev, who issued a statement saying:

“Last night’s program was meant to offer a unifying message about our common commitment to a vigorous and free press while honoring civility, great reporting and scholarship winners, not to divide people. Unfortunately the entertainer’s monologue was not in the spirit of that mission.”

It wold have been nice to recognize journalist around the world who are killed in the line of work,
or held as political prisoners.
But they went for the Trump Derangement Syndrome instead.
 
At least 8 journalists killed in Afghanistan bomb attack

he Committee to Protect Journalists strongly condemned today's double suicide bombing attack in Kabul, Afghanistan, in which at least 25 people were killed, including at least eight journalists, according to media reports. The second blast, about 30 minutes after the first, appeared targeted at journalists who arrived to cover the first explosion, the reports said.

"This latest attack on journalists in Afghanistan is a reminder of the extreme dangers to media workers in that country and of the extremely brutal tactics used there by enemies of the free press," said Steven Butler, CPJ's Asia program coordinator. "The attack amounts to an assault on Afghan democracy as the nation prepares for parliamentary elections scheduled for October."

How come you weren't equally as concerned when Trump initially disparaged our entire intel community, and didn't acknowledge those who were killed in the line of work?

And don't come back w/ the "he didn't mean the rank & file." He didn't clarify that for many months.

no. he ALWAYS made it clear -even during the campaign- he was going after the IC leadership.
The IC leadershiip has the power to weaponize intelligence - not the worker bees

I thought you hated whataboutisms?

Is it possible for you to discuss this topic without bringing up Trump?

So, Wolf's routine was almost entirely about Trump & his admin...but you don't want me to mention his name?

Should I go w/ "He who must not be named?" How about "The President formerly known as a real estate mogul?"

Give me some parameters to work with here...

No other way to put this: what you wrote above is a complete lie.

Come to think about it you are correct- in many cases it wasn't mentioned either way.
( Trump being in campaign mode and not talking like a lawyer). But in many cases he did make that distinction

any fool knows however that only the IC leadership can corrupt/ it's a grotesque deflection to say
"well if he didn't explicitly exempt rank and file -he was including them."

do you have any comments on the topic? or are you just here to derail?

I thought Wolf's routine was over the top - but she's a comedienne, and I don't believe they should have any real limitations. People shouldn't be as snowflakey as they're being about it.

Whether you want to admit it or not, the Trumpsters are definitely being "PC" about this.

people should have enough common sense not to make grotesque abortion jokes or comedy routines about president's heads chopped off. They have free speech, but they should apply some sense of proper decorum.

Afterall this was a professional guild like dinner
( why they should have mentioned dead and imprisoned journalists )

TDS distorts the ability to see self-limiting perspective..:thing1:
