But (for some strange reason) when it comes to a media person running afoul of the mother tongue, WE are the ones who always hear it wrong?

For today’s edition, we have Canadian-born Kimberly Halkett, White House correspondent for Al Jazeera English during a press conference claiming she responded to Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany with “Okay, you don’t want to engage” when it clearly sounds like she said “Okay, you’re a lying bitch”.

Here’s the full exchange in context.

“Okay, you don’t want to engage.”

Sure.

And for some strange reason, men seem to come rushing to the defense when it comes to a media blonde (natural or bleached).

It also appears to be an all-hands-on-deck from The Daily Beast’s liberal defenders.

This Adam Rawnsley is a “reporter” and after a quick online search, we see zero evidence he has any kind of audio expertise to conduct any kind of meaningful forensics. There is no such thing as an “isolation filter” aside of a physical mount to shield a microphone from ambient noise. Enjoy impressing the ignorant much? Had a conservative reportedly said this, no extraordinary effort would be set aside for in-depth examination.

Think we struck a nerve?

It sure sounded like MSNBC’s Alison Morris said “niggers” when reporting about the death of former Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant. She said she didn’t, race-baiting pundits (who’d have none of it had it come from the mouth of a conservative) claimed temporary deafness, and she still has her job.

Today’s millennial journalists talk to others, even up to the President of the United States, like they would to their enabling parents. They are routinely rude and talk over those they claim to be asking questions of. There is no professionalism and recognition of appropriate decorum.

Kimberly Halkett could be someone who was used to getting her way. Being caught in her rudeness was another episode she could deny and be pacified to avoid any subsequent tantrum.

But it sure sounds like she called the White House Press Secretary a “lying bitch”.

Unlike entitled brats, audio doesn’t lie.

During coverage of the death of Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, MSNBC reporter Alison Morris let the latest offence fly.

As expected, the professional media is quite hesitant to admit their errors and Morris found that page in the playbook for her lame response.

Please know I did not & would NEVER use a racist term.

Uh… you did, but we’re the ones who are confused. Thanks for clearing that up, Alison because we all know this kind of thing never happens….

Loyal MSNBC viewers are giving Alison the benefit of the “confusion” on this one. Some are not.

To many, it sounded like MSNBC reporter covering tragic Kobe Bryant helicopter crash used racial slur

While fellow MSNBC personalities Al Sharpton and Joy Reid would be up in arms, calling for immediate firings, sensitivity training, and declarations of racist guilt-by-association had this occurred on Fox News or anything conservative/Republican, Alison Morris will get a pass….

We found no credible report claiming Morris has been fired. MSNBC has not released a statement about the incident or a change in Morris’ employment. The cable channel did not respond to a request for comment.

… because as we all know, she’s is one of the channel’s preferred type and this is not who liberals are because they say so, right?

UPDATE

In what is sure to become part of the liberal playbook (given the valuable example demonstrated by Virginia Governor Ralph Northam), commit a racist offense, deny it, and act like it never happened. Since Alison Morris doesn’t have his political currency, it looks she laid low for a week just to reemerge as if nothing ever happened.

The impeachment of President Trump provided much needed cover.

Careful Alison, it was your big mouth that got you in trouble in the first place.
