Leave it to fellow mean girl Brian Stelter to defend Michelle Wolf, even calling her brave for attacking the way Sarah Sanders looks. And right after he spent nearly an entire week complaining that Republicans don’t trust the media and calling them an infection.
He’s two for two.
"Nothing about what Michelle Wolf did on Saturday night was easy. It was hard, harder even than the truth telling that Stephen Colbert did to President George W. Bush's face" at the 2006 dinner… https://t.co/dqZkPvkj4u

From Vulture.com:
Neither of these jokes are about Sanders’s appearance. The first one suggests that, like the character Ann Dowd plays on the Hulu series based on Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel, Sanders acts as a complicit oppressor on behalf of an authoritarian government. The other joke riffs on a Maybelline slogan to highlight the fact that Sanders lies to the American people on a regular basis on behalf of her boss. You can be offended by either of these insinuations, but at least be offended by what Wolf actually insinuated.
Their desperation to protect Wolf is actually way funnier than any of her bits at the WHCD.
Are you kidding me?

And Brian wonders why we don’t trust the media? Ha!

We are not defending this, Brian is.
You should keep whining about people not trusting the media while also posting this crap

Hilarious, right?
Wow Stelter, you have finally sunk low enough to defend the indefensible. Only a bunch of brain dead liberals could get their panties in a bunch because the president of the United States decided to spend an evening with the people instead of the sick pathetic liberal MSM trash.

This IS CNN.
It was trash. I could care less how hard it was, and yes, Trump makes personal attacks as well. It Doesn’t make her attack any less despicable.

Bingo. The Left keeps pretending it’s ok that Wolf was so nasty to Sarah because Trump says inappropriate things … neither are ok.
So brave in this world of leftist media bias.

It is real hard to stand up and deliver "jokes" to a fawning audience. So, so brave. I wonder where she found the courage to stand in front of a room full of supporters knowing they would write hagiographies of her the next day.
She's a real profile in courage.— NorseThunder (@Odinsonsmjolnir) April 30, 2018

The courage it takes to bash a republican president is breathtaking

And here we thought it was the media who are the true heroes.
These people.
