While many are reporting that the Iran nuclear deal has “stalled”, albeit now because of inconvenient Russia involvement, too many aren’t including why it’s still a bad deal and who (aside from the Iranians) has the most to gain from it. Everything coming from the Biden administration is being taken at face value and little seems to have been learned from the media’s last go-round on the topic.

They were played then and they’re being played now, again, and for the same reason.

The Obama administration exploited the media’s ignorance, thus willing compliance, and even bragged about it when it came to pushing the Iran nuclear deal in 2016.

All these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus. Now they don’t. They call us to explain to them what’s happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing. We created an echo chamber. They [the seemingly independent experts] were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.
— Ben Rhodes, Obama deputy national security adviser for strategic communications

As it doesn’t take much to spark media outrage, especially when criticized, one would think they’d be clutching the pearls and screeching back at Rhodes in unison. One would think….

Hardly.

When reporters had the chance on Friday to confront Obama about the revelations contained in the Times article, they asked four questions: Three of them were about Donald Trump and one was about the ongoing safety problems with the Washington, D.C., subway system. Zero were about Ben Rhodes or Iran.

This is yet one more reason to disregard the media noise coming from the White House. Many of them know little about what they’re reporting as they couldn’t address relevance to what similarly happened years ago without quickly going to Google on their phones.

Despite all the things we now know were wrong (Trump-Russia collusion, COVID-19 was natural, no 2020 vote fraud, masks work, vaccines are safe and effective, January 6 was an “armed insurrection”, no bio-weapons labs in Ukraine, etc.), there are those in the media and Big Tech who’d be the first to admonish and implement banishment for anyone who dare doubt them and their anonymous, so-called “fact checkers”.

The truth is we, justifiably, have no reason to accept anything from the media just because they say so, especially today.

There was a time when a reporter would have to work in the profession for decades and have a proven track record of excellence to even be considered for a White House correspondence gig. Many of today’s White House reporters are literally a few years out of college and somehow landed the prized position.

It’s important to acknowledge age and life experience-challenged status simply because frame of reference is physically limited by time. Back in the day instead of the evening news for updates of events while happening, many of today’s White House reporters were probably watching the Power Rangers or waiting for Clarissa to explain it all.

So while you consume anything regarding the “Iran nuclear deal”, assure yourself that the majority of the information provided is coming from those who many need to be reminded that this was tried less than seven years ago, how and why it failed, who would benefit, who would be under immediate threat, and why it was shot down.

If they don’t know the answers to those historical facts, they have no business reporting on it today.

Anyone who watches any news conference involving President Trump hears the punctuation between questions with what reminds us of angry teenage girls on the schoolyard. But now these drama queens are White House correspondents who have no respect for the office of the presidency. Calling them out on it is called sexist. Add “bigotry” to the equation and you have Weijia Jiang, CBS News White House correspondent.

Jiang can issue a #JuicySmallett style accusation of racism against a White House official she refuses to publicly name. She can insinuate President Trump is a racist for labeling a pandemic from it’s well-documented place of origin which happens to be, in this case, China. She can be rude and combative with the President during a news conference and when told to settle down, is defended as a victim of sexism.

The American people, as a whole, are not stupid enough to blame Chinese Americans for the Coronavirus and to say there are “dozens” of examples racist intolerance against them is irresponsible at best and as soon as Democrats decide to lift their unconstitutional #LockDown edicts, many of us will rush to frequent our favorite restaurants and shops.

It remains to be see if Jiang will ever acknowledge that the “damage” has been done to ALL businesses, not just Asian American, and if there was any bigotry it’s been from those in power to all of us that don’t.

This is the new age of so-called journalism where CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, PBS News Hour’s Yamiche Alcindor, CBS News’ Paula Reid, Fox News’ Kristin Fisher and Weijia Jiang are now the White House correspondent equivalent of “The Squad” where all sense of professional decorum has been replaced by the sights and sounds of a teenage girl’s tirade after being told she can’t stay out after 10pm on a school night.

Once theses wimmin decide to act in a professional manner, given their important positions, they will accordingly be treated in return.

We’re not sure if this is the case here, but if the person stating someone said something “racist” and is in the White House, one would think that person would give the name to a senior White House official, if not the public.

One would think….

Like you’re that important.

Of course when called on it, the response was like that of petulant child busted in a lie, obfuscating instead of coming clean.

White House senior advisor Kellyanne Conway repeatedly responded to PBS NewsHour correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, who appeared to have been trying to provide cover for racism-accuser CBS News’ Weijia Jiang, and could not get a simple answer as to who in the White House said “kung flu”. During a #Coronavirus update yesterday, Alcindor actually took valuable time to ask President Trump about the White House staffer who supposedly said it.

With all of the sickness and death COVID-19 is spreading around the United States and the world, having journalists, pundits, and shut-in liberals getting all bent because of what the virus is being called is sophomoric at best. Calling anyone who uses the label “Wuhan virus” or “Chinese flu” as racist is part of that social justice tactic of renaming things that trigger the emotionally fragile. But seeing how the #Coronavirus was developed and initially unleashed in the Wuhan Province in China, it’s only reasonable to call it where it came from, just like many viruses before this.

As said many times before, it’s a great disservice that seasoned journalists with decades of experience are not occupying the privileged positions as White House correspondents; those who’ve proven themselves to be the documented crème de la crème instead of the young and cheap (Jiang is 36) we’re being subjected to.

Mr. President, thank you. I want to first follow-up on Jeff’s question because the person you were standing next to, whether you know who he is or not, tested positive for coronavirus. Dr. Fauci said this morning, if you stand next to somebody who tested positive, you should self-isolate and get a test. Doctors have said you might have it, even if you don’t have symptoms? Are you being selfish by not getting tested and potentially…?
— Weijia Jiang question to President Trump, 3/13/20

Whatever.

During a June 22, 2017 House Minority Leader Weekly Briefing, we got an explanation on what was to come as explained by an industry pro.

If Jiang can’t give the name, she should be removed immediately from the White House press pool. If, after all this time, that staffer is named and denies making the “slur”, he or she should be required to submit to a polygraph test. If the result comes back that the “slur” was never made, CBS News and Jiang should be sued.

BTW — Hate hoaxes are at pandemic levels within her age group.

Maybe this foolishness will stop, at least for a little while.
