America has a great president and a third-world press corps.

Don Surber


"America has a great president and a third-world press corps. At a single press briefing on covid-19, four different reporters asked President Donald John Trump if calling the Chinese virus the Chinese virus is racist.
"The political reporters and commentators are also the thinnest skinned people in the universe.
On the day he announced for president, the name-calling began: Witless Ape, ridiculous buffoon, baboon, an ass, and an ass of exceptionally intense asininity.
"And that was just in one magazine.
"Imagine anyone saying that about Obama.
"When President Trump pushes back, they cry.
"Consider this report in USA Today last month: "A new report says President Donald Trump and his administration's attack on the press 'dangerously undermined truth and consensus in a deeply divided country.'
" 'The study from the Committee to Protect Journalists was authored by Leonard Downie Jr., former executive editor of The Washington Post." . . .
