"Sudden Respect" is our NewsBusters topic category for situations in which the liberal media suddenly lavishes praise on a conservative because he is now criticizing fellow Republicans or conservatives. Maybe we need a new category: "Sudden Disrespect," to cover cases in which the MSM turns on a Democrat who dares to not march in liberal lockstep.
Joy Reid provided a perfect example of the phenomenon on her MSNBC show today. Her guest was Bill Burton, who was a bosom buddy of the liberal media back when he was one of the earliest members of Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, later becoming Obama's deputy press secretary. But now that Burton has had the audacity to become an adviser to Howard Schultz's potential presidential campaign, he came in for far from kid-glove treatment from Reid. Burton more than held his own. It made for some chippily entertaining TV.

Run, Howard Schultz, run!!!
Bill Burton was a liberal media fan favorite back when he was an Obama mouthpiece. Now that he’s advising Howard Schultz, Joy Reid gets up in his face.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
BOL.
BOL, indeed [I had to look that one up on Urban Dictionary!]
Joy still has her job. How can that be?
Had to look up BOL....

Here’s the one next to the picture of Joy Reid:
Definition of a TV racist who is abysmally stupid but still arrogant and hates Trump (and is butt ugly)”
Joy still has her job. How can that be?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She was quite the racist and homophobe 10 years ago but she didn’t mean it so she is ok.
Time traveling Russians.
“...quite the racist and homophobe 10 years ago...”
Who knows, maybe a picture of her in Whiteface will show up, with her buddying-around with Gov Ralph Northam in Virginia...
One never knows these days....
They’re liking him because he hasn’t been accused of rape or been caught in blackface yet.
Why would anyone consent to an interview by that creature unless he is paid a great deal. She asks questions but gives zero seconds to answer. I guess it would be an easy interview. Just let her rant.
I was trying to filter out who Bill Burton was, between Obama’s chief press secretaries (Robert Gibbs and the imbecile who’s married to ABC’s Claire Shipman). Then I remembered. He strikes me as a likeable enough guy.
Reid has the IQ of a grapefruit.
Happy to say that Joy Reid made L Lin Wood’s list in the Covington Catholic school defamation case.
Get ready to pay, toots.

Same here - now is someone going to tell me what it means so I don’t have to look it up???
I think I would recognize him better without the glasses...he didn’t always wear them...
Boy this guy Shultz is scraping the bottom of the barrel, first Schimdt now this walking skid mark.
Did she pay her back taxes yet?
