Good work press corps
by digby
All of their stupid handwringing over the Michelle Wolf routine on Saturday in order to “uphold standards” is just sickening sycophancy for a depraved political faction.
These people are working on a different dimension:
In April 2018, Comedian Michelle Wolf became the target of a smear campaign after she offered numerous pointed jabs at members of the Trump administration, news media figures, and politicians at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner.
Fake news articles were published falsely claiming that Wolf had been fired from her job at Comedy Central and that her stand-up special had been cancelled by Hulu. We also came across an image of purported newspaper clipping from July 2015 reported that Wolf had pled guilty to bestiality charges.
It is from a clip generating app (which you can see at the Snopes site) and is being shared widely on right wing social media.
Seriously, these people are grotesque monsters. That the press corps believes Wolf’s comedy is out of line just shows that they are still missing the story.
Still.
After all these years.
