Chris’s former employer, the Washington Post, thought that the Reddit event went just swimmingly. Why? Because “important people to Reddit AMAs.” Oh, brother. This is exactly the type of thing people were going after Cillizza for in the first place.
This all goes to show that the liberal media is still lacking in self-awareness.
Actually, this all goes to show that the “Media Research Center” is severely lacking in the ability to detect shade.

Hey, BMAZ, this site is not just a link farm.
Maybe you could at least provide a comment about what the link is about?
(just throwing your bs back. Stop attacking me or I will hunt you down and buy you a scotch rocks!)
Back to your point (after readng link),
yeah, CC is a waste of airtime.
Sorta like the alliteration of Colostomy Chris. Amazing thing is that he has shown almost no learning curve since he started dumb as a stump at the Post. He may be as dumb as Bruce the Douche Allen not signing Cousins then slimeing him in the media. D.C. may have a corner on the market, but I best not get started on the rest. Hope Rayne’s right and they all get the hell out of town for the August recess.

Well, as someone who doesn’t routinely run into Cilizza, the article linked to here didn’t give me a reason to like or dislike Cilizza. It just made me think that he’s got some inarticulate haters.
Since you don’t “routinely run into Cilizza (sic),” here’s a few choice examples of Cillizza’s quality work:
— April 2017: Defended Ivanka Trump after she was hissed at in Germany when she advocated for her father’s policies on paid leave working women (uh, what policy, what legislation, where’s the leave?)
— May 2017: Uninformed/unaware Trump apologia (“The scariest thought: What if Donald Trump just doesn’t know what he’s doing?”)
— May 2017: Tweeted dismissively about Rep. Greg Gianforte’s assault and battery on Guardian reporter.
— July 2017: Claimed Trump’s unscheduled and undisclosed meeting(s) with Putin at G20 weren’t secret, though his network’s reporting says they were (Great Jehoshaphat, was this just this past week??)
And this is only a sampling drawn from the last 12 weeks. Cillizza is and has been a total douche canoe; his haters were more articulate than he deserved, given his hackery. The only thing he has going for him is the ability to admit he’s done stupid crap.
If I’d known about the Reddit AMA I’d probably have asked him who he had to blow to get an 8-figure job. Hope somebody asked him.

Excellent choice examples. There are not enough electrons on this blog to list all the Cillizza infractions.
As to Willis and Smudge, yeah, MRC is indeed a right wing sinkhole. But they are right about Cillizza, and I found their piece funny. Right back at ya Willis.

I’m just disappointed that more people didn’t get the WaPo article, which is pretty great when you follow the links.
Procopius says:
What is this ‘WaPo article’ of which you speak? Where does it live? Where does it eat dinner? What is it called when it’s at home? I ask because I do not normally read the Washington Post, a center-right rag for publishing neoconservative and pro-government propaganda.
“The preservation request is broad and includes text messages, emails, notes, voicemails and other communications and documentation regarding the June 2016 meeting and any related communication since then.”
Rugger9 says:
Mueller can ask, but Trump will not comply. Look at JeffBo as an example.
Rugger9 says:
Also look at the many emails Trump himself owes for various court orders in civil cases and will never cough up. And, the taxes…
bmaz says:
Maybe. But official preservation letters have very legitimate legal consequences. It is a necessary and proper step.
Rugger9 says:
I’ll agree on the formalities, but there still has to be someone to hold Trump accountable, so who will that be in the current DC swamp?
earlofhuntingdon says:
Trumpchaos continues. Sean Spicer out, over chief of staff Reince Priebus’s objections. Trump replaces him with Wall Street “investor” Anthony Scaramucci, who has no experience inside the Beltway and no experience in communications. Distractions galore ahead as Trump’s spokespeople mud wrestle at the intersection between reality and Trumpworld.

“Mr. Trump offered Mr. Scaramucci the job at 10 a.m. The president requested that Mr. Spicer stay on, but Mr. Spicer told Mr. Trump that he believed the appointment was a major mistake, according to a person with direct knowledge of the exchange.”

I thought from the title that you had a new term for colostomy bag.
Now I’m disappointed.
Granted, I need to do better.

Oh right, this Media Research Center:
Sean Hannity will no longer receive Buckley Award after controversy
I understand WFB’s son intervened directly, and Hannity is trying to downplay the snub. Raw Story has it.
