Kim Mulkey, a prominent figure in women's basketball, has sparked widespread anticipation and debate with her preemptive criticism of an upcoming Washington Post article about her, amidst the March Madness tournament. Mulkey's aggressive stance against the article, which she claims not to have read, has led to a surge in public interest, with many on social media eagerly awaiting its publication and comparing her tactics to a 'Trumpian playbook'. The situation has highlighted the ongoing tension between Mulkey and the media, with some accusing the Washington Post of sleazy tactics, while others defend the reporter's approach as reasonable and within journalistic standards. Additionally, Mulkey's rant has inadvertently outlined the reporter's adherence to journalistic rules, amidst speculation about a potential lawsuit.
If you watch that Kim Mulkey rant again, she actually does a terrific job of laying out how this WaPo reporter did everything properly and followed the rules of engagement the right way. Good luck with the lawsuit, though, Kim.
The Washington Post has a chance to do the funniest thing ever and drop a story about all the charity work Kim Mulkey does.
I know nothing about Mulkey or what this story is about But a reporter asking Mulkey for (and being denied) an interview for 2 years and then giving Mulkey roughly 48 hours to answer 12 questions in writing is actually not that unreasonable imo https://t.co/3VyIQnxyfP
Is the Kim Mulkey article out yet? The one she's made us all anxiously await? @kentbabb

Kim Mulkey vs the Washington Post is like the 100000th battle in the same proxy war of the past decade
kim mulkey has me looking forward to this wapo story on her like it's a midnight premier of a movie or a shoe drop now https://t.co/WIIlfCUzvP
Can only imagine how poorly Kim Mulkey comes across in this upcoming WaPo piece if she's preemptively dispatching this Trumpian playbook in the hopes of getting the right-wing ecosphere to rally to her side. https://t.co/mGlgclSbxt
My God she couldn't have made people more excited to read this @washingtonpost story if she took out an ad before tipoff advertising it. Cannot wait to read this. Unprecedented levels of preemptive protesting too much about something she hasn't read. My popcorns ready. https://t.co/NPi2s9w881

Rarely does an article, particularly a sports focused article, have this level of buildup. Mulkey already on the attack for an article she hasn’t even read. This playing out during the tourney is going to give a lot more oxygen to whatever they have https://t.co/94rapullfR
