David French threw a tantrum about Twitchy and what I wrote and all I got was this lousy t-shirt

As you know, dear reader, David French got big mad at Twitchy (well, at me) this week because I wrote about his allegedly tattling on someone at The Blaze. He insists this did not happen, but instead of taking it up with The Blaze, he got all fussy with Twitchy and melodramatically wrote about us as part of ‘the gutter’ of right-wing media.

I was absolutely crushed. Cried for hours … DAYS EVEN. OH NO! David French does not approve of us. The horror. Whatever shall I or we do? OH, that’s right, I’ll write a VIP piece about his temper tantrum so we can all point and laugh.

FROM THE GUTTER.

Hey, if it made him feel better about himself to rant about us (even though he claims he ignores us) that’s OK with me. Not to mention it only seems to make our readers (and specifically my readers) like us more. So thanks, I guess, Dave.

LOL

Here’s the piece – notice, he brings up Julie Kelly and other people who have wronged him and picked on him to make a serious ‘oh woe is me’ case:

Poor fella.

Pitchforks, baseball bats, and Molotov Cocktails.

Wow. He’s definitely feeling oppressed.

My bad.

Here’s where he got all mad at us:

But no. His completely false claim was picked up by a gutter website called “Twitchy.” Twitchy’s business model is to package right-wing Twitter attacks into news stories, slap inflammatory headlines on them, and gleefully claim that this or that person has been shamed, destroyed, humiliated—often by a set of random Twitter trolls.

I tend to ignore Twitchy even though I’m a rich source of content for them (just google “David French” and Twitchy and feast your eyes on the theater of the absurd), but as a symbol of the dysfunction of the right-wing infotainment complex, they’re one of the top 20 most-trafficked right-wing websites on the internet.

It’s one thing when they write a series of juvenile insults. It’s another thing when they repeat completely false claims.

Ok, so here’s the thing. I just covered the tweets from The Blaze. That’s it. And yet somehow I’m still the bad guy here. Granted, we’ve all written about French in the past but let’s be honest, he makes it very easy for us because he writes a lot of silly stuff. Sorry, not sorry. If he doesn’t want us to cover him, maybe he should stop saying stupid things?

You guys, it has always struck me as funny when people get mad at us for writing about what THEY tweet. It’s like when an ex-talk show host who used to bring on some bizarre medium who shall remain unnamed insinuated I was a prostitute for writing about him years ago. No really, he did. Or like the Deputy White House Press Secretary claiming I wasn’t CLASSY because I wrote about Kamala talking about hurricane relief being dispersed based on ‘equity’ earlier this week.

Woof, I’ve had a busy week of ticking off white, elitist, male scolds.

Go me.

via GIPHY

Anyway, I started thinking about all of this, about all of the people who have gotten mad at us (mainly me) over the years for literally writing about what they’ve written or said. Really, you guys? We’re pretty much just a mirror when it comes to Twitter. Oh sure, we’ll write about what you SAID, and sometimes we’ll get it wrong (we fix it when we do), but ultimately, the tweets are yours. You wrote them, and you put them out there for the public to see, so we can and will write about them.

Put on your big boy pants and suck it up.

In closing, it’s at times like this that I miss Greg Pollowitz most of all since people like French in the past would tattle to him about me as if he was my boss. He’d quickly tell them they’d have to take it up with me … and they never seemed to want to do that.

How he would have laughed at this latest whine-fest from French.
