McEnany

Columbia Journalism Review runs an article describing White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany as a "media critic." That is certainly a fair description.

For over 3 years the press has shown that they come to the press briefings intent on making the President look bad. McEnany comes to those same briefings intent on making the press look bad.

Neither has much interest in telling the story of the executive branch of the Federal Government. This is okay, most of the time, because it can tend to be boring.

Let the record show that the press started the donnybrook. Trump decided to play their game, play by the same rules they play by. McEnany is his chosen champion in this battle, for a battle it most definitely is.

Let's treat it as a gladiatorial contest and enjoy the rhetorical 'bloodshed.' Pass the popcorn.
