Wonkette: WaPo Newsroom Upset Because Black Lady With B---s Hosts WaPo Webcast

Ken Layne:

WaPo Newsroom Upset Because Black Lady With B---s Hosts WaPo Webcast: America’s strangest joke of a newspaper is the Washington Post, an Onion-style bland suburban daily that seems to shrink deeper into itself each morning. With a news section full of utterly random paragraph-sized chunks from yesterday’s washingtonpost.com and a bizarre op-ed section featuring press releases submitted by the offices of politicians and the confused yammerings of senile embarrassments like Richard Cohen, the paper appears to be nothing less than an elaborate satire of Washington’s dull insularity and tunnel vision. But, according to accountants, it’s actually a very real cash drain on the Kaplan for-profit education scam company that owns the WaPo....

[T]he entire white male staff of the Washington Post cares, a lot, because having this lady with her b---s doing a webcast is somehow going to erode the WaPo brand more than, oh, three decades of boot-licking journalistic mediocrity.... Anyway, people in the WaPo newsroom are so upset about this black lady having b---s and doing a webcast! Please, let’s bring dignity (and shriveled white weiners) back to the WaPo video offerings! Let’s bring back... Mouthpiece Theater.
