WaPo columnist: Sanders humiliates the media daily

A Washington Post columnist said White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders humiliates the media on a daily basis.

In a column published Tuesday, opinion writer Kathleen Parker referenced Sanders asking reporters earlier this week to say what they were thankful for before asking a question.

"Yet again, she controlled the crowd, though this time by candy-coating her usual condescension with faux fellowship," Parker wrote.

"I'm thankful I wasn't in the room."

She wrote that her first impulse when someone asks her to share is to "not-share."

ADVERTISEMENT "For a press secretary to require professional journalists to essentially beg for their supper, surrendering their adversarial posture like a dog commanded to Drop The Bone, is an infantilizing tactic," she wrote.

"The effect is to neutralize the opposition."

Parker and Jennifer Rubin are the two “house conservatives” at the Washington Post. Neither are conservative, both are full of bile and serve as useful idiots for the liberals in constantly lambasting Trump and the Americans who voted for them.

Hmmm. Well they are pretty easy. Not bad for a young lady to tip toe through their daily assaults with such aplomb. They consistently confirm what assclowns they are. 🦃 Happy thanksgiving.

No! They humiliate themselves! Leftist group-think from the press! Sanders sees through it and calls them on it!

The vile and pompous kathleen parker is one of the biggest phony conservatives in the mold of bill kristol, jennifer rubin, david brooks, michael medved, etal, all the writers at NRO except victor davis hanson . They are all fakes in it just for the money.

Thanks Sarah.

It is better for you to humiliate them, than for God to do so.

I wonder what she thought of the sycophantic behavior of the WH press corps during the last admin? They deserve to be treated like the bunch of pathetic brats they are.

“I’m thankful I wasn’t in the room.”

So is Sarah, I’m sure. I’m willing to bet lots and lots and lots of people are extremely thankful you’re not in the room.

God knows I am.

Exactly right!

And with full credit to 2DVet for thinking of it, I sure hope she makes them wish the Baby Jesus a Happy Birthday before asking their questions as the Christmas holiday approaches!

My question for Rebecca Savransky is how big a check did you get last year from Fusion GPS.

"The effect is to neutralize the opposition."

The filthy press doesn't even pretend to be objective. They view themselves as enemies - well, that's correct. The press is the enemy of the American People.

Hahaha. Those so-called “journalists” are lucky they are even allowed into the room...let alone, their not being run out of town on a rail. What a bunch of dishonest bums.

Civility, clearly, is not, and has not been, the strong suit of the press corps(e). By her firm but seemingly gentle manner, Sarah Huckabee Sanders exerts control not seen since, perhaps, the days of Tony Snow, who really relished the job.

God bless you, Sarah Sanders.

And deservedly so.

There’s no bunch of people that deserve to be publicly spanked on a daily basis than the Fakers.

She’s the mom trying to raise spoiled brats into responsible adults.

Puke Parker doesn’t have the faintest idea of the implications of her own hit piece.
