As Twitchy editors, we read a LOT of stupid takes on Twitter. Let’s be honest, that’s sort of our thing … well, that and making fun of Ron Perlman for accusing us of being Russian agents for the past two years but really at the end of the day what we’re looking for is someone saying something so ridiculous that we can write an entire article on it.
And lucky for us, Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post had our backs today.
She thinks the Mueller report exonerated the media.
Don’t look at us like that, we didn’t write it.
So many things that were called "fake news" by the president and his team turned out to be true. The Mueller Report is an exoneration … of the mainstream media.

Ok. Karen.
And by "mainstream media," I'm talking about reporting by journalists, not cable chatter by pundits. It held up very well, as the many lies of Trump and White House officials were exposed under oath.
— Karen Tumulty (@ktumulty) April 19, 2019
She’s talking about herself.
HA HA HA HA HA.
These people have learned NOTHING.
Hi Karen. For two years print media & TV pundits wanted us to believe Trump was an agent of Russia to put his electoral win under scrutiny. But moving the goalposts is great for toning your upper arms. https://t.co/VyfhfVQPEx

Except with regard to how they covered the stolen emails. For that the media look worse.

Among other things.
Except the part about the media specifically where it cites their gleeful repetition of the hacked material and GRU fed talking points via email that led to the erosion in public trust to Trump's opponent.
More introspection, less back patting. Do better.

You guys still owe the general public an apology+ explanation for 2016.
— Daphna (@daphna27) April 19, 2019
I only have one question? What color is the sky in your world? That report exposed this for exactly what @realDonaldTrump said it was. A smoke screen for @HillaryClinton 's sycophants and a witch hunt.
— Rick Robinson (@RowdyRick73) April 19, 2019
An exoneration? Wow, you think so highly of an industry so filled with vitriol for everyday America. That is just stunning.
— Pouncing Coder Brad (@bradcundiff) April 19, 2019
Stunning? Not really. These people have been patting themselves on the backs for years. Their egos know no bounds.
This is the narrative. @stelter, @JoeNBC, @juliaioffe, @pbump, and now @ktumulty. They are all saying the same thing. They got the memo.
The media is garbage.

Laugh. Out. Loud.

Glad to see the left still hasn’t come back to join reality. ???♂️

I would not go that far. You all still have alot to answer for in your 2016 coverage

This is an absurd statement. You don’t believe it.

Eye of Newt, Toe of Frog
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and owlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.Media casts spell to spin Mueller report into win for them.
— Redacted avi G (@TCC_Grouchy) April 19, 2019
Wouldn’t put it past them.
This is a joke…right?
— AtticusLee (@AtticusLee6) April 19, 2019
You’d think but hey, at least we all got a good laugh anyway, right?
