The wheels recently fell off a pregnancy story that Elizabeth Warren had grown fond of telling, but that isn’t stopping the media from circling the wagons from taking the “conservatives pounce” (or even “latch”) approach. Meanwhile, the Washington Post offered this defense of Warren:

Conservatives claim Elizabeth Warren lied about pregnancy firing. Women reality checked them on social media. https://t.co/oQwcv4NVZK — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) October 10, 2019

Why in the world would anybody ever think the media has a pro-lefty bias?

Unless they witnessed Warren getting canned in '71, or unless they got fired by the same principal, this is not a "reality check." https://t.co/ecE0X9uVkc — Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) October 10, 2019

We highly doubt a conservative caught in a lie would ever be the recipient of that kind of spin from the MSM:

"It happens. Therefore, this happened." #journalism — Huell Babineaux did nothing wrong (@jtLOL) October 10, 2019

This is the logic of a four-year-old at work here. Nobody is saying pregnancy discrimination doesn't happen; the question is whether a presidential candidate lied about being the victim of pregnancy discrimination https://t.co/274UTQRu11 — Peter J. Hasson (@peterjhasson) October 10, 2019

They know that, and the above defense is the best they’ve got, but it beats just coming out and saying Warren lied:

What in the hell kind of logic is this? "She specifically lied about her firing." "You're wrong because other women actually were fired for that reason!" What? That's not how truth works. — Orange Muppet Energy (Sunny) (@sunnyright) October 10, 2019

The Post’s “reality check” got reality checked big time.

Wow the woman in this video really reality checked those “conservatives pouncing” pic.twitter.com/YUqWERg6gV — TheRightWingM ?? (@TheRightWingM) October 10, 2019

Your continued attempt at white knighting for someone who is actually lying shows that advocacy, not journalism, is your stock in trade. Now please delete your worthless account. https://t.co/lM03M3md6b — Physics Geek (@physicsgeek) October 10, 2019

The nice thing about being a Democrat is you can lie through your teeth about something and every news outlet in America will run cover for you https://t.co/k7j4MCHqog — Greg Price (@greg_price11) October 10, 2019

This is some trash journalism — EducatëdHillbilly™ (@RobProvince) October 10, 2019

Conservatives Claimed A Common Thing That Happened Maybe Didn't Happen To This One Person This One Time. Liberals Reality Checked Them By Agreeing That In Fact It Certainly Happened To Other People. Cons=Owned. https://t.co/MVOzIT3A3l — Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) October 10, 2019

Imagine how little @emrosenberg thinks of Washington Post readers to write this nonsense… "A bunch of other women wrote that they were victims of pregnancy discrimination so it's a smear to consider evidence Warren may be lying about being a victim of similar discrimination" https://t.co/F0nMSdNFPw — (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) October 10, 2019

So y’all receiving cash or payroll checks from Warren’s campaign? If this is your attempt at journalism…. learn to code — ShredderGirl (@ShredderBabe) October 10, 2019

You DNC stenographers don't care whether it actually happened to her or not. The narrative must go on. — Carl Gustav (@CaptYonah) October 10, 2019

I can’t believe most Americans think journalists are deceitful, two-faced partisan hacks. https://t.co/52utkfEXgN — Varad Mehta (@varadmehta) October 10, 2019

It’s a total mystery why people think the MSM largely consists of pro-Dem hacks.
