Correction: From a follow-up tweet it looks like Stelter will be talking to Cenk Uygur about Ocasio-Cortez’s owning of the cons online, so double that tongue-bath.
.@cenkuygur will join @brianstelter Sunday to discuss how @Ocasio2018 is using social media to clap back at her critics on Fox News. Tune in at 11 a.m. ET on @CNN!

Facts first: we’re getting pretty tired of writing about Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, because there’s honestly only so much ridicule you can lay on a person before it gets tedious.
If you have been paying attention, here’s Ocasio-Cortez’s playbook: she does an interview or a podcast or a cable TV hit or just posts a video of herself saying something utterly stupid — say, that the three chambers of government are the Senate, the House, and the presidency — and when she gets called on it, she (and the media) takes it as a sign of how frightened conservatives are of her radical socialist ideas. Forget the little details like the three branches of government of how she’s going to pay for Medicare for All.
CNN’s media guy Brian Stelter apparently liked Ocasio-Cortez’s takedown of Fox News for calling her a “little, simple person,” so he’s having Cenk Uygur as a guest on Sunday’s “Reliable Sources” to talk about her owning of the cons and how she does it so deftly.
Tune in Sunday, 11 a.m. ET, for a deeper look at how Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez uses social media to fire back at her critics in conservative media https://t.co/A4rIWCMgPX

Hey, if foreign languages are so important, when is Ocasio-Cortez going to catch up to Melania Trump?
Anyway, if there’s one thing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez needed is more media attention, and since CNN’s kind of keeping its distance from celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti, someone has to fill up the time.
There's a @walmart warehouse full of KY Jelly you all are using to rub yourselves over @ocasio2018

Ew, gross … yet accurate.
The folks at @ReliableSources have an uncanny ability to choose the most significant, meaningful journalism issue of the past week & feature it on Sunday. Anti-conservative tweets from a socialist is a blockbuster story just begging to be told. https://t.co/QiVEgnTPtY

Like, this is rocket science or something?

So funny! If she was a Republican, the MSM would be all over calling her a moron and stupid. Remember how they treated Dan Quayle! He was a rocket scientist compared to this woman! But since she's a communist, the media fawns over her.

No one under 30 will believe us, but Dan Quayle was not stupid; the media made certain his misspelling of “potato” will be all that generations will remember him for.
Hey, isn’t it President Trump who gets all the flak for firing back at critics on social media?
The same thing you attack President Donald Trump for. It is astounding how CNN praises one for doing it and attacks the other. https://t.co/9XLl7uKhGF

This honestly made me laugh.
Trump did it during his campaign, Brian, his "reliable" sources show and many other left-wing media outlets criticized him.Leftist wonderkid, AOC, does it and Brian fawns over her. https://t.co/MCJNYE04Me

The reason why AOC is NEVER on @CNN live is because when she's "live" she sounds like a complete tool.
