I think it's a subtle (OK, maybe not so subtle) jab at Trump and his supporters. He uses this kind of language all the time -- calling people he doesn't like "losers".
The author here is attempting to be clever by turning around and using the same trick against them. I wonder if it had the desired effect...
- r00fus 10y agoToo clever by half; wrestling with a pig in the mud only makes the pig happy and you full of mud. Don't use other people's argumentative frames if you actually disagree with them.
- throwanem 10y agoSounds like WaPo is still smarting over getting its press card pulled. (As they should be! It was a brilliant move, and it's had them on the back foot ever since - their latter coverage of Trump reads like a cross between red-top tabloid and schoolyard bigmouth.)
