Reporters turn to ridiculing White House Easter eggs [Get egg on their faces!]

Many in the White House press corps have a raging case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

It flared up again when the White House released images of the commemorative eggs that will be available for purchase to celebrate the annual White House Easter Egg roll.

Pastel versions of the official egg are $8.50. A gold version is $14.95.

The eggs will feature the signature of President Trump and First lady Melania Trump.

The seemingly innocuous announcement triggered public hackles from mainstream media reporters.

New York Times reporter Julie Davis: “Forget those silly pastel/rainbow colors of White House East Egg Rolls past; Trump’s Easter eggs will be GOLD.”

And left-wing Politico couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get a dig in, either. Reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere was apparently offended that there would be gold eggs, and that they would be “selling them at a $6 premium.”

Not only is the Trump White House making Easter eggs gold, but announcing it in all CAPS, and selling them at a $6 premium https://t.co/60jqZ8tCAo

But it turns out the Trump-hating reporters have egg on their faces: Obama sold gold eggs first.

After firing off her initial tweet, Julie Davis actually did some research and discovered gold eggs were available for sale last year:

Davis conceded the gold eggs are “not a Trump innovation.”

Were the reporters so upset or sarcastic when Obama sold them last year?

What does this word “reporter” I keep seeing used? I cannot find any evidence of any actual reporting anywhere.

There is no longer any serious reporting from the MSMLSD crowd; it’s all comedy relief.

It would be more accurate to change "Many" and replace with "Most".

The media exist to promote leftist agenda, not to report news.

I think they are disappointed the Easter eggs did not say "White Power Easter Egg Roll, 2017" so they could breathlessly report the Trump ties to white nationalists.

Eventually, Davis realized this and completely retracted her initial attack on President Trump, tweeting: “Appears my memory of Easter Egg Rolls past was wrong. Seems Obamas had a golden egg too — not a Trump innovation.”

So they probably really would hate what my late father used to call them: reporters and reporterettes (especially the "Sideline Reporterettes" at practically every college football game on ESPN).

Lol.

“reporters” are essentially the feces eating maggots envisioed in a fedora and an overcoat with flashbulbs and a card reading PRESS stuck in the hatband....

LOWER USELESS PROTOPLASM THAN USED CAR SALESMEN, GOVERNMENT WORKERS AND POLITICIANS ....
THEY CAN CRAWL UNDER THE BELLY OF A MAGGOT STANDING UP....

the media is part of the gloabalist enslavement brainwashing program willing embraced by snowflakes, libtards and commies .....

Well, they are journalists.

Dear Diary, Today I took personal offense that they over-the-top fop combover Hitler issued gold easter eggs. While I don't even believe in Easter - as a celebration of the infidels - gold, is so crass. It is just, literally, signature Trump.

But I reasd that Obama also sold golden easter eggs. But it is different. Michelle has taste and class. Also they are not hypocrits because they don't even believe in Easter.

The 2017 Official White House EASTER egg is more dignified than previous eggs.
