MSM Covers Up Journalist's 'Butch Queen' Attack On Sarah Huckabee Sanders

If the mainstream media wants to know why they no longer possess any moral authority with the American people, why they no longer have the influence they once did to shape public opinion and the outcome of elections, why their approval rating is half that of President Trump's, the past four days, in which one of their very own attacked White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders as a "butch queen," will help to explain that.
On Friday, after it was announced that Sanders would take over for Sean Spicer as press secretary, Ira Madison III, a culture writer at the leftwing Daily Beast, used his verified Twitter account to publish a photo of Sanders with the following attack, "Butch queen first time in drags at ball.”
As you might expect, in the age of New Media, where the MSM no longer controls the means of information distribution that once allowed them to keep inconvenient information like this from reaching the public, Madison's tweet was met with instant outrage on social media. Betsy Rothstein of the Daily Caller first picked up the story, and before long other new media outlets like Newsbusters, the Washington Times, and Fox News were all over it.
The fact that a journalist who works for a major online publication attacked a sitting press secretary in such a demeaning and public way is of course news. And yet…
A good faith look through the Google machine shows that not a single mainstream media outlet picked the story up. Not one.
Nothing at CNN.
Not a peep from Politico.
Not a sound from NBC News.
Not a squeak from The Washington Post.
Not a squeal from The New York Times.

I agree but as long as we're giving him attention I'd like to keep calling him names! Lol

Do you really think top tier outlets should give print space to an insult made by relatively unknown reporter at a second tier news outlet?
Is there nothing more important happening right now that they should be focusing on?

From the article in the OP:
quote:
You might argue that a dumb tweet from a jerk-off journalist actually doesn’t rank as a news story. Okay. Explain to me, then, how an innocuous Facebook post from a nobody-GOP staffer constructively critical of Barack Obama's daughters earned 26 stories at The Washington Post, countless segments on CNN, endless blasts from NBC News… A relentless pounding until this poor woman was forced to resign.

No bias noticeable at all. None.

This is the media that progressives believe is essential for the survival of our republic.

You know I just realized CNN is Very Fake the NYT is Failing and its now The Amazon Post but TRUMP hasn't really branded NBC or Politico yet has he?

Let's get the outrage machine cranked up!

The double standard here is what's at play.
Had a reporter at Fox News said something like this about a Democratic woman it would result in non-stop outrage pieces from the left wing fake new media.

You're comparing this to a GOP staffer attacking the teenage daughters of the President

The entire media is basically a huge DNC staffer. Keep trying to ignore that though you piece of shite
