The media wasn't prepared to handle sarcasm from a candidate
h/t InstapunditBy now you’ve no doubt seen the international crisis which was spawned when Donald Trump answered a question about the DNC email hack, saying he hoped that the Russians found the rest of her 30,000 erased emails. Flipping through the cable news networks this morning you’d think that he just offered to sell the nuclear codes to the highest bidder. The reactions have been swift and ominous from all corners. ...Trump is sarcastic. He’s easily exercised. And when he starts in on a subject and the room temperature rises, you get more of that. The media loves to act offended and point to this as a reason why he must not be qualified to lead America. But the fact is that sarcasm and the occasional expletive are part and parcel of how much of the nation actually speaks. This has left the media completely flummoxed, leading to the headlines about how Trump is going to sell out our national security to Russia. IMO, it's a case of drinking their own ink --- since anybody who disagrees with them is a moron, and morons can't use sarcasm... Also, most of them are not particularly bright - constantly suppressing your own thoughts in favor of Pravda will do this to you, even if you didn't start (as most of them did) as a second rater.
