More blame-the-victim from the MSM.
On Saturday, we noted Politico accusing Sarah Sanders of an “attack” for having tweeted about being kicked out of the Red Hen. Maggie Haberman of the NYT/CNN did something similar on CNN this morning. She shrugged off the restaurant owner’s ejection of Sanders, while accusing Sanders, by tweeting, of doing something “very, very dangerous.” Haberman:MP>
“It’s about as civil a form of incivility as you could have seen . . . Using a government account to tweet to three million followers about the name of the restaurant feels very, very dangerous.”
Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

If Valerie Jarrett—or God forbid, Michelle Obama—were kicked out of a restaurant, what are the odds Haberman would describe the incident as “civil” or suggest that the ejectee was being “very, very dangerous” for tweeting about it?
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Anyone else see the info that Wilkinson has a silent pedo partner named Barney Allen Frazier? Supposedly the info came from an ex-employee. He is in the VA state police database. Anyone able to confirm the silent partner status?
The Clown Show is correct.
The Jews should not have mentioned their mistreatment by the Nazis.
The slaves should not have mentioned their mistreatment by slaveholders.
The Irish should not have mentioned their mistreatment by the English...
and the beat goes on...
Classic “let’s point the finger away from our Left wing nutjobs like Maxine Waters”
over the last several months, there has been a steady stream of blacks posting on facebook about “racism” from various police departs, which turn out to be complete lies. Has Haberman condemn them as dangerous? I doubt that she has.
So, this ignorant beyatch thinks no one would have known if Sarah hadn’t tweeted?
Liberalism IS a mental disease.
I have never seen a more polite response to the incident than was Sarah’s. She was polite about leaving, and polite in the tweet.
Did CNN expect Sarah to “cover it up” for them?
Had that been me who got thrown out, it would not only been on Twitter, but every board and blog I could find.
Trying to blame it on Sarah...I’ve heard it all now.
About as dangerous as saying sanders was spotted at the restaurant to begin with...
We criticize FBI agents for using government accounts to criticize President Trump on government time.
There are key differences. Sanders was reporting an actual event that was news.
Sanders job is getting out the administration’s views.
Sanders boss knows about the tweet and the account, because it was done publicly.
The founders created the First Amendment so the government could not dominate the media.
They did not anticipate a mass media united by an anti-freedom, Progressive ideology. They did not anticipate the danger of the media dominating the government.
When they do it, it’s okay. When we do it, we must die. Simple explanation.
She was ejected from the restaurant because why? Because she’s in the Government.
Of course she should use a Government account to decry her treatment.
All she did was acknowledge what happened. She kind of has a duty to tell her side of the story. And she was very graceful.
So I would imagine that liberal Maggie would thus feel that Maxine Water’s comments to aggressively verbally attack Conservatives were equally dangerous.
“Liberalism IS a mental disease.”...…
How could anyone argue any different?
I’ve never been on Twitter, but assume democrat congressmen and staff “retweeted” Sarah’s post using government issued phones. Is this hack equally critical of them?
Why are the democrats trying to destroy the United States of America?
Of course it’s a BS argument because the President cannot limit people’s access to his personal Twitter precisely because he’s the President, so had Sarah used her personal Twitter account instead, they’d be making the same argument that because she’s the Press Secretary blah blah blah.
People are rightly highly critical of social media, including twitter, but if you sign up you can get Trump’s tweets directly without media filter.
Of course Ms. Sanders tweet was dangerous. This is due to the fact that the tweet exposed the left’s intolerance For anything or anyone who does not kowtow to their level of stupidity. They feel that everyone must do as they do, or they are an enemy that must be ridiculed and disparaged to make them (the Leftist’s) look good and superior. When in fact they are dangerous and sheep of the leftist elitists who control them.
