(14,038 posts)When they're doing something incorrectly and are so wrapped up in their own worlds they refuse to listen when I try to provide "nice" correction and warnings that they're going to break or lose something they desire, then they get correction they don't think is so nice - especially when reality takes a two by four to them. Hearing them cry over the mess that is the result of their own doing is understandable - they're two and six.
Pointing out the truth nicely doesn't work with these supposedly adult White House stenographers pretending to be journalists. And I feel no sympathy when they get told the bald faced truth in a not so nice way.
Especially since they're ignoring what their celebrity monster's justice department is doing shredding up the Constitution - "Freedom of the Press" is no longer in the Justice Department's mission statement?
So these well-heeled reality star wannabes that are so dazzled by ratings and "access" that they don't even notice the scaffolds for them being built up on the White House lawn are pissed at a "Sister" who tells them in no uncertain words that they're not doing their jobs are whining and making up excuses because their feelings were hurt - and they're misconstruing her words and calling her "not funny" (whether she is or isn't) to make themselves seem more important in their affront. (I also suspect some racism/sexism is involved with much of the "criticism" - would they do the same to Jon Stewart or even Larry Wilmore?)
In fact, the promoters of the event don't seem to have been doing their job by vetting what sort of comedian host would be acceptable to the attendees. Unless, of course, that's what they wanted to do - to rub the faces of the reporters in their own doo-doo reality because these so-called "journalists" have been spending the last two years cheerleading a monster for ratings - and refuse to admit they're providing the torches to their own civilization by pandering to the lowest common denominator excuses for a bunch of over-privileged, greedy children destroying democracy while play-acting at being "powerful grown-ups".
On edit - Time and Reality are two things that can't be denied. And the results of misuse of both can be painful to the fee-fees of the frivolous.
