"This has really got to stop. I understand it's a slow week in the news room, but to make absurd predictions depicting New Orleans as a toxic wasteland and comparing the loss of 67 lives to the tsunami earlier this year, the media has acted disgracefully. Am I the only one that feels as if the press is actually disappointed that a major catastrophe was avoided? "

Look, I get that that event is a time for everyone to let their hair down and relax a little bit, but it is being taken to the extreme. It went from taking a few digs at the president and their staff to an all out comedy central roast.

^^ there was absolutely nothing extreme about last night

calling out historically awful people for being historically awful isn’t extreme

"You guys are obsessed with Trump. Did you use to date him? Because you pretend like you hate him, but I think you love him. I think what no one in this room wants to admit is that Trump has helped all of you. He couldn't sell steaks or vodka or water or college or ties or Eric. Be he has helped you. He's helped you sell your papers and your books and your TV. You helped create this monster and now you're profiting off of him. And if you're going to profit off of Trump, you should at least give him some money because he doesn't have any."

That's why the media is attacking her

She should have made jokes about Huckers brother killing dogs for fun.

(It’s hilarious seeing the media go to bat for her given she gaslights and is condescending to them multiple times every day)

Is the purpose of the correspondents dinner only to make fun of politicians but not themselves?

the joke about "dead babies" i assume is the abortion joke, which while crude is perfectly appropriate because of the hypocrisy and fact that trump probably paid $1.6M for an abortion. i can't remember anything about a plane crash, didn't she make a joke about southwest airlines or something?

if they want to pick someone less crude and not make the event a roast next year that's fine, but pretending like anything she said was a big deal in the context of our current reality and things the president has said is an absolute joke. this is a "maybe some of the jokes weren't in line with the intended attitude and atmosphere" and move on kind of thing.

the media is just worried about losing access to their cash cow

hahaha, holy shit i missed this joke before:

"No, things are changing. Men are being held accountable. You know, Al Franken was ousted. That one really hurt liberals. But I believe it was the great Ted Kennedy who said, “Wow, that's crazy; I murdered a woman.”

“Chappaquiddick” in theaters now."

i wasnt saying it was a big deal or agreeing with the backlash. i was just saying she wasnt "tame". she was savage af and unleashed on everything that moved. i loved it.

the southwest joke was the only one i think could be legitimately criticized but no one is even talking about thay one.

she rescued the tree joke by saying she wanted kelly ann only to be stuck

ah my bad

this was my favorite:

Quote :
"I know there's a lot of people that want me to talk about Russia and Putin and collusion, but I'm not going to do that because there's also a lot of liberal media here. And I've never really wanted to know what any of you look like when you orgasm.

Except for maybe you, Jake Tapper. I bet it's something like this: “Okay, that's all the time we have.”"

People who love Trump, a PRESIDENT, for "telling it how it is" and "refusing to be PC" and "isn't afraid to offend people" are crying about what a COMEDIAN said. Yes she was rude and crude and some of what she said went too far, but why should anyone care when she's just using the PRESIDENT'S language?

The “comedian” who just spoke with the leader of Nigeria was not funny and pretty tasteless imo.
