Self-proclaimed “objective” journalist Mika Brzezinski had the vapors today after GOP Rep. Tim Huelskamp appeared on “Morning Joe.” Twitchy — where we do our best to hold the media accountable for what they put forth — reported on Brzezinski’s decidedly un-objective conduct. And, well, that didn’t sit well with “real reporters” at Mediaite:

No, Andrew. We don’t think so. At all. But you know who does? Mika Brzezinski.
“What I think people like is that while we both come from different ideological standpoints, our objective is to be objective.”
Whoops.

Clearly an avid Twitchy reader. We certainly never have any fun around here.
Mediaite founding editor Colby Hall and our old pal Tommy Christopher rounded out the intellectual jam session:
@tommyxtopher um…yeah?

@tommyxtopher there are a lot of things on the Internet that are better left ignored.
— Colby Hall (@colbyhall) December 21, 2012
Anyone have a mirror?
@colbyhall Sure, but the Twitchy "team" provides valuable data on the random chimp theory. It's not Hamlet,but there are only 3 or 4 of them

Actually, Tommy, there are nine of us chimps in the Twitchy tree. But unlike you, we don’t spend our days flinging poo.
@tommyxtopher it was the blurst of times
— Colby Hall (@colbyhall) December 21, 2012
That’d be Dickens, actually, if we’re gonna get nitpicky. Not Shakespeare. But we digress.
@colbyhall @AndrewKirell if you let the Twitchy team type long enough, eventually, they'll produce the Twilight series.

Nyuk nyuk nyuk! Quick! Someone find a waiter for us to tip.
It’s generally easier to ignore stupidity, but where’s the fun in that? Twitchy’s fearless leader Michelle Malkin kindly stepped in to inject a little truth:
.@AndrewKirell @colbyhall The @TwitchyTeam covers a wide array of Twitter stories & you won't stop readin because we know you use our work.
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) December 21, 2012
.@AndrewKirell @colbyhall And we know Mediaite has used @TwitchyTeam material that has resulted in traffic boosts. You're welcome.
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) December 21, 2012
@AndrewKirell @colbyhall @TwitchyTeam You said our site is "OUTRAGE 24/7." If you read it regularly, you know that's not true.
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) December 21, 2012
.@AndrewKirell @colbyhall @TwitchyTeam In any case, WE'RE angered by lib media's selective outrage. WE are counterbalancing.
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) December 21, 2012
Exactly. Mediaite might not care to fully cover the media, but we do.
A parting thought from one of our resident chimpanzees:
@tommyxtopher @colbyhall @AndrewKirell Well Tommy isnt a real reporter so makes us even.

Oh, snap.
