And around and around we go …
Trump calls out the media. The media calls out Trump. Trump calls them out again, the media cries. We all laugh at the media.
Repeat.

Administration officials scold media for Russia coverage.
To which I respond: Look at the President's Twitter timeline this morning.

Because goodness knows the media can’t and won’t take responsibility for their own actions and reporting. They’re far too busy making up theories around Russia and crying about their new Boogieman, Putin.
Truth be told, if the media would just shut up for a few minutes they’d get a lot more done. Just sayin’.

NOT the real Scaramucci folks, but definitely a parody making a decent point.

Editor’s note: Just last week, Chris Cillizza held an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit and as you can imagine, it didn’t work out so hot for him in the end (although full disclosure, we had a blast writing about it).
