A Washington Post columnist said White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders humiliates the media on a daily basis.

In a column published Tuesday, opinion writer Kathleen Parker referenced Sanders asking reporters earlier this week to say what they were thankful for before asking a question.

"Yet again, she controlled the crowd, though this time by candy-coating her usual condescension with faux fellowship," Parker wrote.

"I'm thankful I wasn't in the room."

She wrote that her first impulse when someone asks her to share is to "not-share."

ADVERTISEMENT "For a press secretary to require professional journalists to essentially beg for their supper, surrendering their adversarial posture like a dog commanded to Drop The Bone, is an infantilizing tactic," she wrote.

"The effect is to neutralize the opposition."

More Kat Parker - Faux Conservative.

Respect is a two way street.

I am thankful for President Trump and the people under him like Sarah Huckabee.

Funny she's "too the left" of Spitzer in that pic :)

...Yet again, she controlled the crowd...

Just like a tamer of wild beasts in the three ring media circuses of press conferences.

I read the headline and thought to myself, Thank goodness she’s so good at it!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

“surrendering their adversarial posture”

---

Where was this supposed “adversarial posture” during the entire Obama administration?

It did not exist. The establishment media was virtually a part of the Obama administration.

[alternatives?]

The press never had a problem stating how grateful they were when Obama was president, They didn’t have to be asked and it was everyday, not just Thanksgiving.

Great job!

Kathleen Parker used to be a respectable writer. I don’t know what’s happened to her, but this is ridiculous.

[yoe]

Sarah treats those "professional journalists" with a great deal of respect and patience....playing with their iPhones, and not paying attention - asking the same questions that has been answered before not only tries Sarah's patience but the patience of the viewer.

My only complaint of the young woman is that the make-up people make her look like she has soot on her eyelids, very unattractive.

Winner!

Kathleen Parker is the embodiment of Schadenfreude.

LOL! This is just one of the many reasons why us Trump voters are having so much fun!

[Exit148]

All those press people (many trying to catch her on something), but Sanders is totally in control!

[morphing libertarian]

Everyother week the wh press corps news to be rotated and the media room fumigated.

...

Go Sarah go!

Rah! Rah! Rah!

[Drew68]

Yes, I said opposition. The press, by definition, is oppositional.

Really? They spent eight years wiping the jizz of their chins.

[Moonman62]

Sanders is one of Trump’s best picks. Maybe his best.

...

And Trump had to fire a couple of people to get to her.

Well stated.
