    Are you claiming the issue is not the comic but the crowd?
    I disagree: she really didn't have a single memorable bust-a-gut laugh line; however, I can see your argument.
    Whether she is funny or not is immaterial to the whole argument. Funny is in the eye of the beholder...they arent mad she wasnt funny they are mad they got called out on their BS so they made up controversy.

      Where is all the poutrage over the fat jokes made about Chris Christie? Shouldnt NYTs be all over that?

        Re: POTUS 45.32: QAnon Will Help Show the Truth

        At least the NY Times published an opinion that was accurate.

        Comedy has no rules, per se. But in my 15 years of writing and performing, I’ve come up with a few guidelines that I find helpful:

        1. Be funny.

        2. Tell the truth.

        3. Make people in power uncomfortable.

        Yet in return for her excellence, Ms. Wolf was criticized not just by partisan defenders of the president, but by members of the press, too. Journalists called Ms. Wolf’s set “offensive,” “deplorable” and “a debacle.” Margaret Talev, the president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, who booked the comedian to perform, released a statement on Sunday night that said “unfortunately, the entertainer’s monologue was not in the spirit” of the group’s mission.

        There is no president of the Comedians’ Association, and though Ms. Wolf and I know each other professionally, I’m not her spokesman. But at risk of speaking out of turn, I’d like to offer this official response from America’s comics: If you don’t want comedy, don’t hire us.

        So, which is it? Does the White House press corps want to use the platform to let the unvarnished truth be spoken to those in power? Or would they rather prioritize the preservation of politeness and a chummy relationship with the administration we rely on them to cover? If it’s the former, great! That’s what we do.

        If it’s the latter, please, leave America’s comedians off the invite list. Better yet, cancel the whole charade and head out to your local comedy club. You’ll find us there, doing what we’re paid to: telling jokes and telling the truth.

        The piece is a "mike drop" if I ever read one.

                On the one hand, I agree with everything he says. On the other, he writes like a 13 year old on a message board who has had 12 Red Bulls and just finished a marathon session on World of Warcraft. Deadspin is like Buzzfeed after a Sophomore English Course...

                At least it wasnt Jezebel...right now they must be spinning in circles trying to figure out how to cover this. A woman ripping a woman...maybe Wolf had a male writer they can shameblame into obscurity....

                        They stand behind him. In every way. The ends justify the means.

                          Jezebel has some writers who do a very good job trying to deal with stuff like that. It's not the Catherine MacKinnon Hour that people think it is.

                          If you want a place that is completely bereft of an ounce of self-awareness and introspection, try The Root. It's all the stupid things people erroneously think Jezebel is.

                          Edit: here is the piece Jezebel published on this.

                          Indeed, it appears the WHCA was under the impression they’d hired some softball comedian to tell everyone on both sides what a good job they were doing, while making some light jokes about Trump’s hair, because it is so silly!!! Everyone can agree on that! What fun! Such jokes! Sadly, the WHCA had apparently never bothered to watch one of Wolf’s stand-up sets, and now they are very sorry that she had the audacity to spoil CNN’s meal by pointing out how complicit everyone is in the hellscape in which we are all currently embroiled. And she used such naughty language, goodness.

                          Of course, by distancing themselves from Wolf’s set, the WHCA has made nice with the people within the Trump Administration from whom they need access. Sarah Huckabee Sanders will remember that Maggie Haberman defended her honor, not that she deserved it, or that she’ll stop spewing untruths from the podium anytime soon. From an outsider’s perspective, that’s pretty much the whole point of this White House Correspondents’ Dinner, hence why it’s so repulsive—it’s hard to hold people’s feet to the fire when you feel compelled to flatter them in exchange for scoops, then celebrate together over monkfish at a Hilton.

                          Which is why Wolf’s set was so good. She didn’t give a **** if she made people angry. She was not trying to curry favor. She does not intend to get invited to the White House, convince Kellyanne Conway to leak to her that President Trump calls Don Jr. as “the gross, sad one,” then put it in her TELL-ALL bestseller and make a bajillion dollars. She was the voice of Americans out there who are sick to death of this ****—from cable news, from the White House, from Chris Cillizza’s Twitter feed—but don’t have the opportunity to say it to anyone’s face. That is not to say that journalists aren’t breaking important stories—certainly, many are, and with all the anti-media sentiment out there, it is difficult work. But media is also full of high-paid blowhards who trade in the pursuit of the truth for their own ratings and fame, and Wolf told those folks to suck it.

                                The Root is awful but Jezebel sucks. The Root is worse (so much race baiting) but Jezebel and their defenders are what will be the downfall of #MeToo
