“… when Donald Trump looks out into the crowd, he might spot some of those attending the White House Correspondents’ Association’s gala sporting unusual accessories: pocket squares and pins with the words of the First Amendment, in a subversive gesture supporting press freedom, reflecting the news media’s consciousness of the perilous moment it’s in, and why.”

Oh, come ON! Seriously?!

@samlitzinger Yeah, that's a pretty accurate representation of the news media's consciousness of the moment we're in, all right.

@samlitzinger
Fascism is on the march, and the media limit their commentary to sarcastic pocket squares??

Beyond parody. 🤦‍♀️

@samlitzinger

Peter pan and tinker bell bullshit

@samlitzinger

"subversive gesture supporting press freedom"

Well

#CNN certainly knows how to hit #Trump where he's at his most vulnerable

Strong work, CNN

@samlitzinger I’m reminded of Monty Python…
@samlitzinger My Noble Meddle for "the news media's consciousness of the moment we're in" goes to the WSJ for covering what's-his-name's threat but managing to omit any quote that included such naughty words as "hell" and "bastards."
