Well, gee, let’s see... because Dvorak gave a speech decrying the dangers of “fake news” by repeating fake news, specifically the garbage about Sarah Palin being personally responsible for Gabrielle Gifford being attacked?

How’s that for starters?

I stopped ready WaPo years before the Trump escalator ride. Can’t remember if it was before the Obama administration.

Good catch. Jesse Jacksonism from the left-using “big” words incorrectly or out of context (never mind pronunciation).

NPR lamented the same awhile back. Clueless.

I had a “I don’t believe the Washington Post” bumper sticker in the 1980s. It’s been a long long time since I trusted them.

Dvorak to friends, “I don’t know how Trump got elected; no one I know voted for him!”

Same reason you don’t talk to a skunk.

A skunk or a skank? 😁

Actually, vagaries is defined as an unexpected and inexplicable change in a situation or someone’s behavior. A few synonyms are quirk, idiosyncrasy, peculiarity, oddity and, yes, whim. In plain English, the WaPo b’tch doesn’t understand us, poor dear. Oh, and she’s only pretending to try to understand us. I’d actually find it amusing to chat with her. Kind of like the way a cat plays with a mouse before going in for the kill.

Because conservatives know (or should know) that whatever they say will be spun, misrepresented, put in a context they never meant, etc, no matter what they say. Their words will even be outright lied about. So, best to say nothing, so that when the left presumes to put words in our mouths, they have to come right out and brazenly lie, because we said nothing at all to them.

They probably wouldn’t have talked to a BLM, LGBTQ, Antifa, CAIR or Planned Parenthood rep., either.

— Clue to Dvorak:
— I stopped trusting the NY Times long before Trump even announced he was going to run. (This was after more than 40 years of reading most all of the paper every day.)

The Jason Blair episode should have killed whatever credibility they had left in 2003.

Exactly. Their disingenuous attempts to “reach out” are merely bait, and it’s best if we just don’t bite.

A Squonk, and now all that's left of her is a pool of tears.

That's exactly how it would have fallen out.

I'll point out that you misspelled "WaPOS".  winking face

The MSM STILL don’t realize this has been going on for a long, long time.
The arrogant a$$holes think they control the narrative and we’re none the wiser. Too bad for them.

FTA: “This prompted another question for Dvorak: Why are conservatives so distrustful of her and the mainstream media she represents?”

Put this in your file of examples of “begging the question.”

“Vagaries” is synonymous with whim, not vagueness, Casey.

I doubt smug Casey knows the difference between "vagaries" and "vagueries," but would probably jump on a Trump supporter's usage error.
