'Democracy dies over chips & guac': White House press secretary slams Washington Post after reporter tweeted 'Merry Impeachmas'

The Washington Post has come under fire from the White House after a member of the newspaper's Congressional team tweeted a photo of correspondents celebrating 'Merry Impeachmas'.

The photo shared on Twitter by reporter Rachel Bade showed her and her colleagues drinking beer at dinner hours after the House of Representatives passed two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.

The caption read: 'Merry Impeachmas from the wapo team!' - along with tags for journalists Karoun Demirjian, Paul Kane, Seung Min Kim and Mike DeBonis.

White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham shared the tweet and wrote: 'Fair & balanced journalism everyone. Democracy dies over chips & guac.'

  3. I posted this on other spot... but it seems fitting that it's here too:

    I just can't anymore.

    When did our public discourse become so base?

    Disagree with people politics, fine. Debate the ideas. How did we get to this point of vitriol and each side misrepresenting the other, and these pointless attacks.

    Mostly the media I guess. Sensationalism sells and advertising makes money, and profits don't care about civility, heck they don't even care about the truth. Feed them their own confirmation bias and jack the levels up to 11.

    It's like we are on a steady diet of red bull and candy, when we need to be eating healthy. We are so sick as a nation.
