Megyn Kelly was not pleased with Samantha Bee calling Ivanka Trump a ‘feckless c*nt’ today … not one bit.
Megyn Kelly Blasts Samantha Bee’s ‘Disgusting’ Take on Ivanka: ‘How is This Acceptable?’ https://t.co/LXjrJj6RHA pic.twitter.com/JQIO8IC8Y8

From Mediaite:
“Hate is Hate,” said Kelly. The question of a double standard in the media’s reaction to offensive, disgusting, or just rude commentary has long been a complaint on the right. It has been of conversation a lot recently, starting with Michelle Wolf’s routine at the White House Correspondents’ dinner, and on through Roseanne’s racist tweet earlier this week.
Of course, people on the Right (and some on the Left, actually) being angry that Samantha called Ivanka the c-word somehow makes the Left even prouder of what she said …
Sam Bee dropping truth bombs is making the right uncomfortable huh?

Sidenote, this editor is getting really tired of writing the word, ‘c*nt’ today … thanks for that, Sam Bee.
No, this was not a truth bomb, this was a mean woman preaching to a choir of other mean people.
Or as Iowahawk put it:
I think you misunderstand my point. Stroking the political egos of an audience filled with angry barking circus seals is not comedy, whether it's from the left or the right.https://t.co/yqyMXPjQ55

From the Left or the Right.
And let's face it, there is no shortage of unfunny "truth bomb" clap-seeker comedians on the right, either

Yup.
Real comedians seeks to kill their audience, not to lead it in hymns.

Perfect.
Somewhere along the line, comedy stopped being about making people laugh and became some sort of contest to see who can dunk on the other side the hardest.
I'm old school. I like comedy that creates laughter and not just applause.

Not just clicks, taps, favs, and retweets.
We agree.
But swearing is funny!

Quiet you!
The C-word is not a truth bomb.
