We’d heartily recommend (after you’ve read all of Twitchy, of course) clicking on over to The Federalist, where Ben Domenech has published a piece on the American media’s slobbering coverage of North Korea and Kim Yo Jong (North Korea’s Ivanka Trump!) over the weekend.
It’d be nice to say that American media doesn’t hate this country. From @bdomenech. https://t.co/pW6YbCSjyC

Here’s a sample:
It’d be nice to say that American media doesn’t hate this country. It’d be nice to claim that the American press, while maintaining objectivity and balancing against bias, is still inherently American – that they are patriots who love this country even as they report on its defects.
…
But we cannot say these things when the American media, time and again, illustrates its utter hatred for the nation and its people in those newspapers and on television. Having judged the American project kaput after the election of Donald Trump, they are now stooping to the level of defending the North Koreans – perhaps the most brutal and heinous regime in the world today – thanks to some side-eye from its minister of propaganda, the sister of Kim Jong Un.
That headline though — “Dear America: Your News Media Absolutely Hates You” — was more than CNN’s Brian Stelter could abide.
Headline says "Dear America: Your News Media Absolutely Hates You." False and sickening. @bdomenech, you should put down the broad brush & get to know some more journalists. https://t.co/gkSbdRb6aD

Get to know some more journalists, huh?
Maybe you should put down the keyboard and get to know some more Americans https://t.co/JwvDlEut8I

Actually, @bdomenech is 100% correct, especially after this weekend. Get to know more regular people. https://t.co/U1bhb41AUK

Counter challenge: Get to know the Americans you denigrate on a daily basis by accusing them of living in a Fox-fueled "alternative reality" https://t.co/NzmuHZj6dN

Stelter's beat is pretty much just painting people with a broad brush. His complaint here is fucking laughable. https://t.co/c8dR0ZhnHO

Brian Stelter is mad that he can’t tell you you’re an idiot and still have your adulation. https://t.co/pXIIGwtLXq

Did @CNN ever use “false and sickening” to describe the NK regime this weekend or do they only reserve that sort of tough talk for true monsters like @bdomenech https://t.co/JUF8rcU5Qs
— LocoLobo79 (@LocoLobo79) February 13, 2018
Sickening? C’mon.
Some hyperbole, perhaps, but the column was about disgust over hagiographic coverage of North Korea’s monstrous regime. https://t.co/4v6sgviczH

You should learn from this, but you won’t. You willingly focus in on the “broad brush” as distraction instead of content of what he saying. https://t.co/wG0UoDJIcN

Hi @brianstelter, do you plan to do a segment on your show discussing the media's — including your network's — embarrassing and fawning behavior towards North Korea? If not, why not? Thanks. https://t.co/Lh7HHEOdIe

Brian – I look forward to your hard-hitting analysis of how @CNN reported on Kim Jong-Un’s sister (ironically, the director of N. Korea’s propaganda dept.) this past weekend.
It was so bad that even @DPRK_News had to break character and say “C’mon!”

To be honest, we’re kind of astounded that tweet is still up, considering the beating CNN took over it this weekend.

Instead of lashing out at CNN's critics, how about you look inward and find out why your network supported the propaganda master. You have a very serious problem when you're sickened by the critics but not your own behavior. https://t.co/A3ZeMJOY1q
