Biden’s Fine, Trump’s Ill
Despite indications that Joe Biden might be experiencing some mental decline — bouts of memory loss and yelling at a voter, “you’re full of s**t!” — Yahoo! News lined up liberal psychologists to declare that Trump is the real danger.
Brandy Lee, for instance, who has never even met the president, pronounced, “A few stumbled words [by Biden] are not the same as the extreme danger that results from a list of signs that Donald Trump has shown.”
“We have [in Trump] such mental instability and such great cognitive decline as well as neurological signs that show imminent risk to the entire human civilization, compared with some gaffes perhaps” by Biden, she asserted.
Psychologist Lynne Meyer railed, “Trump’s cognitive decline or problems are that he doesn’t even seem to have comprehension of reality. … I don’t see the same thing with Biden.” Yahoo! News predictably headlined its article, “Trump’s mental state — not Biden’s — is the real concern, mental health professionals say.”
Racist Virus
Although the World Health Organization, nearly every newspaper in Southeast Asia, and even CNN have described the coronavirus based on its place of origin, Wuhan, China — Wuhan Virus — many liberal reporters are complaining that this is a racist slur. MSNBC’s Chris Hayes whined that it’s “just astoundingly gross to call it the Wuhan Virus.” Apparently unaware of his employer’s newscasts, CNN’s Kyung Lah tweeted, “Chinese [coronavirus]??? Are you kidding me?”
The Daily Beast’s Molly Jong-Fast quickly corrected Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) by tweeting, “It’s called Covid-19 not wuhan virus. … It’s interesting to me that you are calling it wuhan virus and not covid-19.” She also tweeted, “It’s racist.” MSNBC’s David Gura lectured, “FYI: Calling #COVID19 the ‘Wuhan Virus’ is racist.” The Nation’s Dave Zinn declared, “The Wuhan Virus. Racist to the last.”
It’s probably a good thing these “journalists” didn’t cover news of the Spanish flu or the Black Plague.
Shh! It’s a Biden
In addition to the corruption surrounding Hunter Biden’s $50,000-a-month gig with a Ukrainian energy firm, Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden, is being investigated by the FBI for possible financial fraud — but ABC, CBS, and NBC haven’t said a word. They’re censoring the scandal. Politico, however, reported on March 9 that the FBI had raided James Biden’s health care business in late January, seized boxes of documents, and is looking into allegations from two medical firms that James obtained funds fraudulently, including a $500,000 loan that he reportedly has not repaid.
Politico also reported that James Biden apparently touted his relation to Joe Biden to open doors into the health care investing world. Yet another Biden family member is in trouble and once again the nets are doing their best to bury the scandal.
In addition to Politico’s work, FNC’s Hannity and Special Report with Bret Baier have reported on the James Biden scandal.
‘Black’ Monday
CBS This Morning warned viewers on Mar. 10 that common words and phrases with no racial context whatsoever were now somehow examples of “racism” in everyday life. It was all part of a segment designed to promote a “new book teaching kids the roots of racism.” Co-host Tony Dokoupil lectured, “Many headlines referred to the stock market plunge yesterday as ‘Black Monday,’ and that is just one of the subtle and not-so-subtle ways that racism has been braided into our everyday culture.” He then touted a new children’s version of Stamped From the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America, by CBS News contributor Ibram X. Kendi and co-author Jason Reynolds.
The journalists then discussed how to re-teach George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and CBS ran a graphic warning of which words and phrases to avoid: “Words With Negative Connotations: Black Monday, Black Sheep, Blackballing, Blackmail, Blacklisting.”
Although the coronavirus is an extremely serious health issue affecting the entire world, and governments are working with the private sector to combat the virus and save lives, the liberal media in America are largely exploiting the pandemic to smear President Donald Trump as a “failure.”
On March 13, I met with the MRC staff and told everyone that we were going to continue with business as usual at the organization. The following Monday, we heard the update from the president, and we’ve decided we need to make some changes. So, as of March 18 we are going to go into virtual-work mode.
Minibits
Ex-Newsweek Editor Jon Meacham warns that President Trump “veers from unthinkable to unthinkable to unthinkable” but Joe Biden is “the most human of people, genuine … much more part of the vernacular of presidential leadership.”
BYE-BYE, CHRIS! The Worst of Matthews
After 23 years at CNBC and MSNBC, liberal commentator/reporter Chris Matthews was “retired” — read: fired — as the host of Hardball. Some of his compliments to younger women over the years at MSNBC caught up with him in the #MeToo culture, but his sharp criticism of socialist Bernie Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) also played a role in his career’s demise.
