Keep crying wolf about Trump, and no one will listen when there’s a real crisis
The New York Post ^ | November 20, 2016 | Kyle Smith

Posted on 11/20/2016 1:09:53 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

It’s contrary to the laws of nature for a tabloid writer to tell the gentry media not to go berserk. It’s like a cat telling his owner to stop coughing up hairballs or Iron Man asking Captain America to be less arrogant. Here at The Post, our mission statement does not include understatement. We provide journalistic Red Bull, not Sominex.

Nevertheless, a word of neighborly advice to our more genteel media friends, the ones who sit at the high table in their pristine white dinner jackets and ball gowns. You’ve been barfing all over yourselves for a week and a half, and it’s revolting to watch.

For your own sake, and that of the republic for which you allegedly work, wipe off your chins and regain your composure. I didn’t vote for him either, but Trump won. Pull yourselves together and deal with it, if you ever want to be taken seriously again....

As long as they get attention from media and friends, I can’t see them changing

And just what “real crisis” with President Trump are they planning?

The MSM will ignore this advice and continue to swirl the...drain (to be polite).

Just went (quickly) through the entire article.

He didn’t miss much of anything and it was a good read.

Kyle Smith is the author and I believe we will be seeing more of him.

If Trump rushed to make his picks more quickly than Obama did, The Times would be yowling that he’s careless and impetuous.

Agreed. The NYT has totally lost all credibility with anyone who still has at least one neuron still firing. It is now totally an editorial rag.

One would think that lesson had already been learned based on the fact that Trump won the election. Some, still don’t quite get it. No matter which republican we ran for president, the Dems would have consulted the same old playbook, where all Republicans are evil racists who hate women. Even when we nominate a woman for that position, they will still say she approves of measures that do not support women.

I didn't see any feminazis rising to Sarah Palin's defense. In fact, they were some of her most vicious critics.

If Donald Trump could walk on water, the Slimes would report that Trump cannot swim.

Captain America isn’t arrogant. If anything, Tony Stark/Iron Man is the more arrogant of the two.

Those Vichy-Feminists even said Sarah was ‘not a real woman’.
Then what is she? Condi dealth with the same stupidity. It’s no wonder Condi has stayed out of elective politics. The system is too dysfunctional for rational people, at least for now.

“and no one will listen when there’s a real crisis”

I’m already not listening, and there’s not even a crisis yet to not listen to, either.
