Controversial anti-Trump author Michael Wolff appears to be wearing out
his welcome among the liberal media elite after spending weeks as the
toast of the industry.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders has blasted Wolff’s book, “Fire
and Fury,” as “tabloid gossip” laced with “false and fraudulent claims,”
and many members of the mainstream media finally seem to agree with her on
something.

While promoting the book on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Wolff said
he was “absolutely sure” that President Trump was currently having an
extramarital affair and teased that his book reveals the mistress if you
“read between the lines.”

Internet sleuths quickly pointed to United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley,
who was forced to deny the speculation. Wolff has essentially tried to
slut-shame Haley, pointing out that "Nikki Haley has chosen to
vociferously deny something she was not accused of."

Washington Post media columnist Erik Wemple has mocked Wolff, saying he
should have simply admitted his comments to Maher were “ill-advised”
before pointing out that Wolff has bragged about writing “millions” of
words without issuing a correction.

“We’re learning why,” Wemple wrote.

Axios reporter Jonathan Swan tweeted to Wolff on Wednesday, “It must be
fun to write and say whatever you want under the banner of ‘non-fiction,’
with zero fact-checking or basic decency.”

Swan then asked Wolff to remove his name from the author acknowledgment
section for the next edition.

On Thursday Wolff was even cut off by MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Mika
Brzezinski when the Haley rumors came up.

Brzezinski, who is about as anti-Trump as anyone on cable news and has
repeatedly questioned the president’s ability to perform his job duties,
said the credibility of the entire book is now in question.

She asked if Wolff regrets inferring that Haley was the president’s
mistress, and the author attempted to backpedal before being cut off.

“You said she has embraced it… You might be having a fun time playing a
little game dancing around this, but you’re slurring a woman, it’s
disgraceful,” Brzezinski said.

Brzezinski and Wolff bickered about the specific language that was used
before the segment was abruptly ended.

“If you don’t get what we’re talking about, I’m sorry, this is awkward,
you’re here on the set with us, but we’re done,” Brzezinski said. “Michael
Wolff, thank you. We’re going to go to break now.”

Wolff then took to Twitter and unleashed a series of messages attacking
Brzezinski, who was famously scorned on social media by Trump himself.

“My bad, the President is right about Mika,” Wolff wrote to kick off the
series of disparaging tweets aimed at the MSNBC star.

Mainstream media members and liberal pundits have tweeted displeasure with
Wolff's recent actions.

I am so pissed about these @nikkihaley stories. A rumor so thin that even
Michael Wolff would not include them in his book, but he hints about it on
TV; now she has to deny, and that makes it a "news story."

Just gross.

***@MichaelWolffNYC should be persona non grata to anyone who cares about
truth, facts, ethics, evidence -- you know, the pillars of journalism. Why
are you buying his books? Putting him on TV? Promoting his work? Young
reporters are watching, and they're learning it's OK to lie.

Wolff’s book paints Trump as a lazy, disconnected buffoon who lays around
eating cheeseburgers in bed while furiously watching cable news. Despite a
plethora of errors and discredited tidbits, Wolff was paraded around the
media world to promote “Fire and Fury,” appearing on everything from CNN
and NBC’s “Today” show to “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

Following the release of news-making excerpts, personal lawyers for
President Trump sent a letter to Wolff and the publisher of the book,
demanding they “immediately cease and desist from any further publication,
release or dissemination of the book.”

Instead of obeying, Wolff released the book early.

The book quickly became a top seller, but it’s fair to ponder if liberal
pundits who once took the content as gospel now have a case of buyer’s
remorse.
--
Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.

Hillary generously supplied him with lots of,
um, "material" he was all so eager to offer
up as truth .........
