What is with these people and the need to reflexively defend every little fuckup?

Can't find the link.

    saluting an NK general

    The general saluted first, Trump was absolutely right to return it. People don't get pissy when the president salutes a Marine PFC standing by the door of the white house. It's like getting mad that he shook hands with somebody.

        :this:

        They know if Obama had done that chuds would have lost their minds like they did with the latte salute thing, and they would have to be defending it. They're mad at the unfairness, and they think that owning the evil witch with her own logic will make her melt.

      It was obvious on Day 1 that they were going to take anything he did and turn it into a furious denunciation. Remember how they lied about him dumping the fish food into the koi pond? He was just following the lead of the Japanese prime minister, who had just done the same thing. "Trump tries to overfeed and kill rare fish" dominated the news cycle for 24 hours.

      It makes it all the harder to call him out on his actual fuckups when the media is this dishonest. It's been my experience that the bigger "news" organizations tend to have the mindset that actual research is superfluous as they assume their reputation insulates them from challenge.
