Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey says she would like an invitation to the White House, if President Donald Trump offered it to her team.

Trump sent his congratulations to Baylor after the Bears beat Notre Dame 8281 in the National Championship on Sunday, saying "Congratulations to the Baylor Lady Bears on their amazing win last night against Notre Dame to become the 2019 NCAA Women's Basketball National Champions!"

Twice before has Mulkey's teams been to the White House. Once in 2005 and another time in 2012 when Baylor won national titles.

And then comes the hate...

"Trump hasn't invited a single women's championship team, college or pro, to the White House.

"Why would you ever want to visit someone who's made it clear they don't want you to?"

Good point. Except: the New York Post (created by Alexander Hamilton, I believe) sometimes has some decent reporting. It's better than most newspapers in America but that's not saying much.

Umm ... not so much. They've long committed themselves to snark-style (think TMZ) reporting and have a lengthy history of unethical practices. As a result, many of their contemporaries do not take NYP all that seriously.

Maybe I haven't looked at it enough. I was basing my conclusions on personal experience. Every time I've looked at their reporting in recent memory it was pretty good. Maybe the original generalization was more accurate. Then again, sometimes snark/sarcasm is informative and entertaining.

They play to a certain audience, which at times results in extreme sensationalism (see below) and jeopardizes the balance an outlet like the Post should bring to meaningful stories. Such shenanigans are not tolerated at most large metro newspapers (though some of those headlines have become legendary). Yes, the Post has some decent journalists who do decent work. But not near enough.

Point taken. Unfortunately, all of that could be said for most major media outlets (the major networks, CNN, NYT, WaPo, etc). Each has produced trash/blatant propaganda which is why so many of them are losing viewers/readers.

NY Post is a tabloid celebrating sensationalized news, going subjective rather than objective. My assumption is you just agree with their subjectivity, so you mistake that as good reporting.

The media are subjective and increasingly too many are not even trying to be objective. Some at least, never tried to pretend they were. But when I read a news report that sounds more like an op-ed and not even based upon facts then I have doubts. I guess I have become about as cynical about many in the media as I have about many politicians.

My memory may be off, but I seem to remember reading some good articles in the NY Post. True, it often looks like a tabloid and some of their stuff is trash but I don't think that describes everything I've seen there. I've also seen plenty of trash in the NY Times, WaPo, etc. Too often the press act more like propagandists than providers of useful information.

The invite would be interesting... interesting to see which lady bears would decline the invitation.

Is this gonna happen?

---

I would be more appropriate to say-- Why would you invite a team who made it clear they would refuse your invitation. As I remember it. Every one of those Womens teams made it clear, early on, that they would not go if they were invited.

Politically motivated trash. It's not worth the time it would take to read any further. On a funny note, though, this writer does what the headline accuses Mulkey of doing!

---

Funny...that's the point I made (among others ) when I sent him an email.

And what NY paper has "good reporting?"

Or anywhere else?

To be fair, I do sometimes see decent reporting in lots of news outlets including (gasp!) the NY Times--but only when it is something that is not the remotely political.

Too many members of the press (especially WH press corps) are just laughable. It's almost Pavlovian. In the 1990s someone would say "Clinton" and they almost seemed to be drooling, then it was "Obama" and now it's both. If someone says "Trump" the reaction resembles vomit or diarrhea, metaphorically speaking. They are so predictable it is sometimes funny.

Well... he won't be writing anymore stories like this at the NYDailyNews

A bit of personal news.

This is my last week at the @NYDailyNews @NYDNSports

Later in the week I'll give some shoutouts/discuss what's next.

But for now, and the next few days, I'm gonna retweet some old columns, as this has been a life changing ride.

You guys are powerful. A few little tweets from ya'll and they fire the guy!

Besides, who needs this guy? We have some of the best newspaper and tv reporters in the country right here in Waco! They will always look for the truth...

Sounds like we are going! Good. I hope they have a great visit. Maybe going with UVA team this weekend.

Awesome! Kim gets it done!

Fast food at the White House, it better be Whataburger.

I doubt Mulkey even reads twitter.
