    Default WashPost Wails After McSally Calls CNN Reporter, 'Liberal Hack'

    "chilling"
    "vile"
    "nasty meltdown"
    "corruption"

    Must be another Michelle Obama "shocked to my core moment", and something terrible must have taken place to receive such headlines.

    This meltdown, the corrupted person, so vile and chilling - because she called a CNN reporter a "liberal hack"

    The left tries to invent new things and new ways to be offended on the daily. And they use the harshest of terms to describe the horrible events that shook up their lives!! Pathetic lying bastards!! And all liberal hacks over there!

    'Chilling!' 'Vile!' 'Vicious!' WashPost Wails After McSally Calls CNN Reporter, 'Liberal Hack'

    The only thing the media hates more than a Democrat getting humiliated by the right is when the media gets humiliated by the right. Senator Martha McSally (R-AZ) sparked a media meltdown Thursday morning after calling CNN reporter Manu Raju a “liberal hack.” That afternoon, The Washington Post rushed to Raju’s rescue with an overwrought opinion piece attacking McSally, saying her “outburst” was evidence that Republicans wouldn’t conduct a fair impeachment trial.

    Showcasing how reporters have the thinnest skin possible, The Plum Line Greg Sargent’s headline full of hyperbole read: “GOP senator’s vicious outburst shows the corruption of Trump’s defenders.” If that wasn’t bad enough, The original title called it a “nasty meltdown,” instead. Sargent’s colleague, media critic Erik Wemple, tweeted out the article with this absurd tease: “What’s behind Martha McSally’s chilling insult to CNN’s Manu Raju?”



    In the body of the article, Sargent was offended by “vile” McSally having the audacity to demean a “polite” “hard-working” journalist and then owning it:

    If you were a United States senator who just snapped angrily at a reporter for politely asking whether compelling new information about a matter of great import to the nation was weighing on your understanding of that consequential matter, you probably wouldn’t see this as something to advertise. But then again, you’re not Martha McSally of Arizona. McSally just did exactly this — yet she is now treating it as a badge of honor; as something to boast about.

    ...But, whether or not this was a setup, McSally is now treating this as something that will give her a political boost, which is just beyond pathetic.
    Funny, I haven’t seen The Post complain about various Democrat politicians fundraising over their “viral” moments, such as Nancy Pelosi selling merchandise on her moment attacking a right-leaning reporter. In fact, Jennifer Rubin loved the “pizzazz” from a “strong defiant woman.”

    Yet, Sargent was miffed at the “vile” insult because Raju didn’t even ask a “liberal” question. He compared this exchange to the impeachment trial, claiming Republicans didn't want to be held accountable by anyone:

    Note that it is now seen as “liberal” to merely ask a Republican senator whether she feels any obligation to consider the full set of facts before exercising her constitutional duty to vote on whether articles of impeachment — passed by the elected representatives in the other chamber of Congress — merit removal. What’s seen as “liberal” here, plainly, is that this question should be asked of Republican senators at all.

    Wolf Blitzer says the "attack" was awful, and "disgusting".
