Will Vanity Fair staffers quit over their #TrumpDerangementSyndrome?

Job cuts and layoffs in the credentialed media have been a persistent problem for a couple of decades now, especially in the print medium. Vanity Fair has been among those reporting layoffs at The Washington Post as well as other places, the magazine has seen its share of layoffs, and the people working there have to know just how precious jobs like theirs are right now. So, when an ‘unidentified staffer’ says, “If I have to work bagging groceries at Trader Joe’s, I’ll do it. If [Editorial Director Mark Guiducci] puts Melania on the cover, half of the editorial staff will walk out, I guarantee it,” it sure sounds like the emptiest of threats to me!

Vanity Fair employees lash out over proposed Melania Trump cover: ‘I will walk out the motherf–king door’

By Emily Crane | Tuesday, August 26, 2025 | 7:43 AM EDT

Vanity Fair’s new boss reportedly wants first lady Melania Trump to grace the glossy magazine’s coveted cover — leaving disgruntled woke staff threatening to “walk out the motherf–king door” if it goes ahead.

The fashion mag’s global editorial director, Mark Guiducci, has floated the possibility of putting President Trump’s wife on the cover of the Conde Nast-owned publication as he tries to make his mark in his newly minted role, Semafor reported.

But the mere thought of having the former model as a cover girl sparked fierce backlash from raging lefty staffers.

“I will walk out the motherf–king door, and half my staff will follow me,’ one sensitive editor fumed to the Daily Mail.

“We are not going to normalize this despot and his wife; we’re just not going to do it. We’re going to stand for what’s right,” the unidentified staffer whined.

“If I have to work bagging groceries at Trader Joe’s, I’ll do it. If [Guiducci] puts Melania on the cover, half of the editorial staff will walk out, I guarantee it.”

It sounds to me as though Mr Guiducci’s job just became easier: he won’t have to decide on more layoffs if a bunch of #TrumpDerangementSyndrome afflicted staffers walk out the door!

But, alas! the chances that many, or even any, of the staffers would carry through with such a threat are pretty small. Perhaps the ‘unidentified staffer’s’ guarantee isn’t all that solid?

We previously noted how The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Will Bunch got his thong panties in a twist over Ivanka Trump Kushner visiting the Philadelphia Eagles Nova Care practice facility with her son and his flag football team. Mrs Kushner is not part of President Trump’s present Administration, the article he referenced had nothing to do with politics, yet the columnist was appalled anyway.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing these days.

Y’all in a heap o’ trouble, boys!

As I have previously mentioned, I check Bluesky so that you don’t have to, and it was on Bluesky that I found this skeet from Ian Hansen.

Mr Hansen, who posts links to a lot of conservative sites, but has only 391 followers, tries valiantly to educate in ineducable over there, but if it weren’t for his skeet, I would never have heard of this story:

7-Year-Old Girl Repeatedly Raped, Molested by Guatemalan Father, Friend – Police

Two men from Guatemala are facing charges for prolonged sexual abuse of a 7-year-old girl in Florida, authorities say.

Is Jake Tapper really this dumb?

Is this actually real? Did the distinguished Jake Tapper actually say, “Asking questions is literally our job. Demanding facts and answers, instead of just taking a President’s word for it”? After over four years of the credentialed media covering for Joe Biden’s descent into dementia, now Mr Tapper is saying that the media’s job is to demand facts and answers? Click on the image and you can see the video for yourself.

There’s a faked video of the Indiana Fever’s Sophie Cunninghan trashing Jacy Sheldon of the Connecticut Sun that’s making the rounds on Facebook that’s pretty funny. In it, Miss Cunningham said that Miss Sheldon fell into the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down, after the kerfuffle over Miss Cunningham’s hard foul on Miss Sheldon to stop a layup at the end of the game, a foul that was completely unnecessary, since the Fever were too far ahead of the Sun for the basket to have made a difference. It’s a good enough fake that it makes me wonder just how many artificial intelligence fakes there are in the world. Continue reading →

Bad causes attract bad people Why are all of the left's cause célèbre heroes bad people?

Galadriel

I had meant to write this on Saturday, but got sidetracked when we rescued a very emaciated Huskey (mix?) female dog. She was begging for attention outside of the Sav-a-Lot grocery store, and she’s skin and bones: ribs showing, as well as her hips. I walked her to my 2010 Ford F-150, still running strong with fewer than 200 miles until the odometer flips to 200,000, and brought her home. We fed her, and I’ll take her to the vet on Monday, because she might have worms, causing her to not get enough nutrition from the food she does get.

With three dogs and a cat of our own, we really can’t keep her, and I’ve been trying to find someone who can take care of her. That didn’t stop me from naming her Galadriel.

Robert Stacy McCain did write yesterday, noting the complicity of the credentialed media, which he has long called Democratic operatives with bylines, in minimizing the stories of attacks on Jews in the United States: Continue reading →

No matter how much you hate the credentialed media, you do not hate them enough!

You know, I get it: everyone wants to keep his job, no matter how royally he f(ornicated) up! As we have previously noted, the credentialed media have been trying their d(arnedest) to blame their almost total lack of coverage of thankfully former President Joe Biden’s declining physical and mental health not on their own failures to be actual journalists, but on Mr Biden’s inner circle and staff of paid flunkies to tell them the truth. How naïve do the reporters and editors have to be to think that people whose jobs and positions depended on Mr Biden remaining in office would tell other people that their boss was losing it?

Well, apparently the Editorial Board of The Washington Post want you to think that they were stunned by events!

If Biden was too frail for his job, voters should have been informed

Covering their own asses! The credentialed media are blaming everybody but themselves for their own failures

It has been a few days since journolists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson published their book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, blaming everybody in Mr Biden’s administration for the elderly President’s decision to run for re-election despite his failing mental status.

No matter how much you hate the credentialed media, you do not hate them enough! Only a fool would believe that the credentialed media didn't know about President Biden's descent into dementia

Jake Tapper, the lead Washington anchor for CNN, and Senior White House correspondent for ABC News before that, is a very well connected man in Washington media circles. He knows everybody who’s anybody, and everybody who’s anybody in DC knows him. With a guesstimated net worth of $20 million, he gets invited to all of the great parties.

Perhaps that $20 mil just isn’t enough for him, because any he’s been taking heroic measures to try to save his journalistic reputation. Too bad that no one with any sense, any sense at all, would believe that a journolist — and you can see the reason I spell it that way — as well connected as Mr Tapper was wholly unaware that President Joe Biden was slowly losing his marbles.

And here he goes again, this time in the pages of The New Yorker:

How Joe Biden Handed the Presidency to Donald Trump

At a fateful event last summer, Barack Obama, George Clooney, and others were stunned by Biden’s weakness and confusion. Why did he and his advisers decide to conceal his condition from the public and campaign for reëlection?

by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson | Tuesday, May 13, 2025

President Joe Biden got out of bed the day after the 2024 election convinced that he had been wronged. The élites, the Democratic officials, the media, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama—they shouldn’t have pushed him out of the race. If he had stayed in, he would have beaten Donald Trump. That’s what the polls suggested, he would say again and again. Continue reading →

Can The Washington Post be saved? The newspaper industry has updated as much as possible, but it's still 18th century technology.

We have previously reported on how owner Jeff Bezos’ decision that The Washington Post not make any endorsement for President in 2024 cost the newspaper hundreds of thousand of subscriptions.

But now columnist Joe Concha of the New York Post says that Mr Bezos is doing what is necessary to save one of our nation’s newspapers of record:

Three cheers for Jeff Bezos, fighting to save The Washington Post from itself

By Joe Concha | Thursday, March 6, 2025 6:52 PM EST

Jeff Bezos is one of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs — but making his Washington Post staffers face reality may be his toughest-ever career challenge.

A long time ago in a media galaxy that now seems far, far away, the Post was one of the most respected newspapers in the country, capturing 68 Pulitzers in the process. Continue reading →

The New York Times and the control of language

I wonder if it will be approved.

At 10:56 AM EST I submitted a comment on The New York Times main editorial, “The MAGA WAR on Speech.” The Editorial Board is aghast that the Trump Administration has done radical things such as “The National Park Service (having) erased the letters T and Q: from L.G.B.T.Q. references on its website describing the Stonewall National Monument in New York City.” I responded:

On November 29, 2018, the Times gave OpEd space to Chad Malloy[1]Chad Malloy is a man male who claims to be a woman who goes by the faux name “Parker” Malloy. to write, “How Twitter’s Ban on ‘Deadnaming’ Promotes Free Speech.” On October 4, 2019, the Times gave OpEd space to Andrew Marantz to claim that “Free Speech Is Killing Us.” When Elon Musk bought Twitter, promising to promote greater free speech, Times Editorial Board member Greg Bensinger told readers that “Twitter Under Elon Musk Will Be a Scary Place.”

The Associated Press’ Stylebook mandates that ‘black’ be capitalized when referring to race, but not ‘brown’ or ‘white.’ More, the AP Stylebook has media all across the country referring to the transgendered by their preferred, fake names and the pronouns of what they claim to be, rather than what they actually are.

The left have been attempting to control the debate by controlling the use of language for as long as I’ve been aware of it.
