CBS reporter got the response her ‘question’ deserved


Jonathan F. Keiler  "The mainstream media’s latest heroine/victim is CBS reporter Weijia Jiang who got into a tussle with President Trump at his May 11 coronavirus briefing.  Jiang, of Chinese descent, asked Trump an argumentative question, got an argumentative response, and assumed that the response was personal based upon her race, rather than what she said.  The case is a microcosm of what’s wrong with the media, both in terms of pure bias, basic competence, and professionalism. "

"Trump replied accordingly.  To the emotional but true accusation that people in America are still getting sick and dying, and the false implication that it’s his fault, he put the blame where it belongs, on China.  The epidemic began in China, probably at a Chinese bio-lab.  "The Chinese lied about and mishandled the outbreak, and ensured it spread worldwide by allowing international travel out of Wuhan after they knew it was spreading person-to-person. 
"Jiang got the response her statement deserved. That she happens to be of Chinese descent is utterly irrelevant.  That she is a lousy reporter who can’t seem to ask a clear, relevant, non-argumentative question, and is being held up as a paragon of virtue for it, is an indictment of the mainstream media.
