WHCA President Margaret Talev: Don't Judge Whole Event By 'Michelle Wolf's 15 Minutes' (CYA Time!)
Real Clear Politics ^ | April 29 2018 | Tim Hains

President of the White House Correspondents' Association Margaret Talev defends the decision to have Michelle Wolf as the comedian at the dinner, saying "she had a message to deliver and she did." Talev also said she hoped "those 15 minutes" do not "define four hours of what was a wonderful and unifying night."

Wolf's set has been criticized by both CNN and FOX News.

"I think she brought to the night what she thought was important to say, and her goal may not have been press unity and everyone rallying around to support journalism," Talev also said.

I watched her set. It was very mild.

I don’t know what all the fuss is about.

Let the Ministry of Propaganda have their event by themselves.

Decent, honest people should just avoid it.

Thank you for the clarification about ‘that’ article.
I don’t want to make such a charge willy nilly. Not even for Michelle Wolf.

WHCA should apologize to Americans, but they are leftist and they hate America.

We are not judging it on her 15 minutes. Were judging it on presses reaction and on the base of the people that hired her and failed to apologize.

A few distasteful comments can ruin any event. People will remember people who are nasty and sick. The entire event can be flushed down the toilet.

“Don’t judge our ‘Block Party’ by the 15 minutes we spent lynching WHCA President Margaret Talev!”

We hope “those 15 minutes” do not “define four hours of what was a wonderful and unifying night.”

President of the White House Correspondents' Association [and CNN's own] Margaret Talev defends the decision to have Michelle Wolf as the comedian at the dinner, saying "she had a message to deliver and she did." Talev also said she hoped "those 15 minutes" do not "define four hours of what was a wonderful and unifying night."
By "unifying" she means, showing a united front by the Partisan Media Shills in their continuous, unfettered smears and abuse of President Trump, his administration, and all his supporters. Nice CYAs from all the urinalists who either criticized the fake comedian's libels, or pretended to. Thanks ethom.

I heard that mentioned, and if you think about it Ivanka has voiced some things the Left should be happy about.

These folks are vicious though. They know next to nothing, and act as if they are sent her from on high.

Sorry lady but when one attends a banquet and someone defecates all over the table, that is the defining moment of the banquet....
