    Some reaction to Michelle Wolf:https://www.rt.com/op-ed/425615-michelle-wolf-correspondents-dinner/

    “LOL. Honestly, the only thing funnier than @michelleisawolf’s speech is the increasingly whiny, offended, and self-pitying protests from the DC press corps on behalf of the sensibilities of the richest and most powerful people in the country. A roomful of Marie Antoinettes” Glenn Greenwald

    Marie Antoinette passed through my mind, too. That’s pretty funny.

    Did you read Taibi’s bit on this? I agree with him. I think the whole thing is despicable, really. It compromises the media. These rich assholes go to a swanky dinner, and suck up to power. Their desire to be “insiders” compromises their objectivity. Like Taibi said, they are courtiers to power instead of adversaries who challenge it.

    And it is telling that all the whining about Wolf’s speech has to do with HOW she said it, not WHAT she said. If it had been false, that’s what they would complain about. But what she said is true. And that’s why they’re pissed.

    Yeah, and its all been said a million times before. Ie, the MSM is in bed with the Powerful.

    And its gettin worse, year by year, as fewer and fewer corpse control more and more voices.

    The Fox News take on this, btw. They have more of it right, than the Dem-MSM:
