The Mary Sue's 'attacks' double standard
Establishment media accounts of President Trump's 2/16 press conference were uniformly slanted and acidic. But one hit-ambitioning guerilla stands out -- though as a negative.
"Terrifying," "Hyper-sensitive," "vague," "ultra-rambly," "egregious," "generally WTF," "combative," "petulant," "rant," "unhinged," "narcissistic," and "shouted" all came in just one Mary Sue article by Vivian Kane.
There may have been more such epithets. I don't know; I stopped reading her, and felt better for the doing. Kane advised readers to seek out the conference transcript at the Washington Post's site, "if you feel like drowning in sadness."
Ironically, the Mary Sue admonishes commenters that the at-once libertine and stuffy feminist site forbids "personal attacks."
