Sarah Sanders has been taking even more heat than usual from our media betters lately. Their beef with her? She’s doing her job. You know, the same job Obama’s press secretaries had. Is she in an awkward position where she sometimes has to try to spin the unspinnable? You bet. But the fact that she’s a Republican is the only reason Real Journalists suddenly care.
Real Journalists like CNN’s David Chalian:
CNN's @DavidChalian after briefing: "Circle May 3rd on your calendar, because this is the day that we will look back on, in this briefing, where Sarah Sanders made it so painfully clear that she has lost credibility with the American people, with the reporters in that room."

Hacks like Chalian and Cillizza are too dense to recognize their own flaming selective outrage, but lucky for them, Stephen Miller, aka @Redsteeze, is here to help:

Jay Carney and Josh Earnest lied to people’s faces on a daily basis. But we don’t recall guys like Chris Cillizza calling for their heads. It’s almost as if the White House press corps struggles with intellectual honesty.
Press secretaries lie to the media. That’s their job. Always has been. Either party. Every president. It’s enlightening to see however who in media is only outraged when some do it. Like you @CillizzaCNN.

No, it’s not their job. Not even close. https://t.co/NFJVTRRnFJ

Chris woke up on January 21st 2017 and is very outraged press secretaries spin for their administration. https://t.co/S7iCdoNCgU

Answer a simple question Chris. Jay Carney & Josh Earnest never lied to you. Yes / No. https://t.co/S7iCdoNCgU
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) May 4, 2018
@CillizzaCNN When your answer is yes, please point me to your “the case for why Josh Earnest should resign” piece.

He won’t be able to do that … but there’s still this:

‘Nuff said.
Again, you can’t blame Chris. If someone interrupted your 8-year vacation and told you that it was time to work again, you’d be pissed too.

Fair enough.
Hi, @redsteeze. Reporter here. Um, pretty sure you're wrong. The WH Press Sec's job isn't to lie to journalists — and, in extension, the country.
Nice try, though. Thanks! pic.twitter.com/7eVbkbr9Vn

Like it or not, the White House press secretary is there to defend the president. Now, you can debate how effectively they do their job, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s their job. And if you’re only going to get upset when one side spins, be prepared to get called out on your selective outrage.
And if shameless lapdogs like Chris Cillizza need anything else to chew on, here’s some parting food for thought:
And here’s another hard dose of reality: If you think lying to the media is the same as lying to the American people, then have I got some poll numbers to show you about what the American people think of the media https://t.co/DU3s4t6DGF
