Kathy Griffin came to Michelle Wolfs defense on Twitter this afternoon, saying people are holding a comedian to higher standards than the President of the United States.
Griffin said Wolf did a great job and roasted everyone, which she was hired to do:

M) I'll tell you what has the media so upset, because @michelleisawolf told the truth about them last night and the role they played in allowing Trump's rise. They hate to be called out on their bullshit, it's painful..I get it. But she said what needed to be said.

"Tell me why anyone should apologize when Trump has never apologized for lying for years about Obama's birthplace and then at a press conference took no responsibility for it and lied again."
Exactly. +1000

(20,232 posts)Motherfucking Les Moonves said "It (Trump) may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS."
I think the MSM thought their constant coverage of Trump was good because:
1) The more they showed him, the more the US would think "anyone but Trump." They were stupidly wrong. They knew that racism was up under the Obama administration. Trump just poured gasoline on the fire and THEY HELPED HIM.
2) It was good for their ratings.
