White House Treats Media With Well-Earned Disdain |


 The American Spectator   
"It’s no secret that most Americans mistrust the media. A recent Gallup survey found that only 21 percent of the public expressed “a great deal” of confidence in newspapers. Television news fared even worse. This distrust of the media isn’t merely due to dishonest “reporting,” it is also tied to collusion between journalists and the politicians they are meant to keep honest. The White House press pool, for example, is little more than a Greek Chorus that recites Biden administration talking points. In exchange for this tawdry performance, they expect occasional access to the President. But Biden’s handlers have no more respect for the media than does the public.

"This became manifestly obvious on Tuesday, when Biden sat down in the oval office with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson for a brief conversation for the cameras. These ritual chats between a President and a visiting foreign leader are usually followed by a few questions from the media. In keeping with that tradition, Johnson fielded a few questions from the British press, whereupon the American reporters attempted to ask our president a question or two. It didn’t go well. Ed O’Keefe, a senior White House political correspondent for CBS News, attempted to ask a question about the crisis on the southern border and was shouted down by Biden’s keepers:

IN THE OVAL OFFICE… @POTUS Biden and British PM @BorisJohnson meet to discuss pandemic, trade and other issues. Johnson took 3 questions. White House aides shouted down U.S. attempts to ask questions. I asked Biden about southern border and we couldn’t decipher what he said.

"The Hill reports, “Members of the White House press pool lodged a complaint with the White House after British reporters but not American reporters were recognized for questions during President Biden’s meeting with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday afternoon.” According to various reports, a gaggle of senior correspondents went directly to Jen Psaki’s office to demand a formal press conference during which reporters could ask the questions they were prevented from asking on Tuesday. Psaki dismissed the request. During Wednesday’s press briefing, she blamed the British Prime Minister for the whole incident:. . . "

How the corrupt press covers the Biden border disaster   ..."Journalists have also eagerly spread the lie about agents using whips. The Associated Press’ White House reporter Darlene Superville repeated the “whip-wielding” lie in her tweet promoting Psaki’s CBS appearance. VICE reporter Emily Green was so eager to turn Border Patrol into the bad guys that she felt compelled to change their race. She tweeted, “Largely white Border Patrol agents on horses cracking whips at Black Haitian migrants seeking protection. . .the optics of this are terrible.”

"But it wasn’t the optics that were terrible; it was her “reporting.” The Border Patrol agents are in fact largely Hispanic, not white, and as the image clearly shows, they were not whipping migrants seeking protection but doing their job of securing the border against people who are attempting illegally to cross it."...

All promoted by the corrupt and racist demagogue of Congress, Maxine Waters

“What we witnessed takes us back hundreds of years. What we witnessed was worse than what we witnessed in slavery,” Waters, who serves as the Chairwoman
of the House Committee on Financial Services, stated during a rainy press conference steps away from the U.S. Capitol.

Said the woman who hugged the mobsters who tried to beat white truck driver Reginald Denny to death in the streets of Water's district during the LA riots. TD
