HACK ATTACK! WaPo's 'predictable' spin on Samantha Bee accidentally impugns LIBERALS (and THEMSELVES)

We knew it was inevitable, but still. Really, WaPo? Like, really?

Samantha Bee called Ivanka Trump a vulgar word. Conservatives and the White House aren’t happy. https://t.co/HVQ0PFQ15X

— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) May 31, 2018

You guys have no shame left, do you?

This is the more subtle version of "Conservatives Pounce"https://t.co/WjPChJGLnY

— David Henry (@imau2fan) May 31, 2018

Yeah … there’s nothing subtle about it.

Republicans pounce on Samantha Bee calling a mother holding her baby a “feckless c***.” https://t.co/XDE987xo0q

So once again, the story is the reaction from conservatives, not that what she said was appalling. It would be nice if media — who I support and we need — didn’t actively discredit itself every damn day. https://t.co/8bHyGPZTFQ

Yet another “conservatives pounce” spin on a story that the left doesn’t like. These people are as predictable as the sunrise. https://t.co/NoOfHpCOhR

It never fails.

Anybody with decency should not be happy.

— Thomas Diamond (@Tdiamond1993) May 31, 2018

Shldn’t we uniformly be unhappy about this? But once again, somehow vulgarity is acceptable when it’s directed at conservative women. Wapo, you shld be ashamed.

Too bad WaPo’s phrasing actually backfired and made liberals look like the bad guys:

Interesting phrasing. Are you saying the Democrats are happy?

— New Federalist Party (@FederalistNew) May 31, 2018

So liberals are okay with the c word? Got it

— Jana Robinson (@jlee67wl) May 31, 2018

So Liberals *are* happy?

Thanks for pointing that out.

This is quite a slam on liberals. https://t.co/QhIT7Czx7M

Nice work as usual, WaPo.

I'm a liberal and I'm not happy either. The corsening of our dialogue is not productive

— Susan Westler (@SWestler) May 31, 2018

This Democrat isn’t, either. Women shouldn’t bring other women down.

And in case WaPo hadn’t screwed this pooch enough, they managed a pretty major self-own, too:

Question – Why aren't YOU upset, WaPo?

— Sgt Hulka's Big Toe (@SgtHulkasToe) May 31, 2018

WP you should also be upset

— frank (@Cubapsychmd) May 31, 2018

Only conservatives and the White House aren’t happy?

Do you take no issue with what she said?

And you wonder why people view you as a wing of the Democratic Party…

— Dave (@heyyoudvd) May 31, 2018

Is the Washington Post I happy about it? Asking for a country. https://t.co/hWeHwNaHqy
