Angry Joe gets grumpy again

BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S BIG MIX-- THE KOOL AID TABLE  

NEARLY 40 DAYS AFTER DELIVERING THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS, U.S. PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN SAT DOWN WITH THESE REPORTERS -- MUST CREDIT BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S BIG MIX--   FOR AN INDEPTH INTERVIEW.

WE CAUGHT UP WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN JUST AFTER POLITICO DECLARED HIM "BORING."  


"BORING?" ASKED JOE.  "LOOK IT, MAN, I'M SPRY.  SPRY'S GOOD.  BORING?  REALLY?  WELL I DON'T GO TO THOSE COCAINE AND SEX ORGIES THAT REPUBLICANS ARE APPARENTLY THROWING.  BUT, I MEAN,  I HAVEN'T BEEN INVITED YET.  CAN'T GO TO WHAT THEY DON'T INVITE YOU TO.  MAYBE POLITICO SHOULD WAIT UNTIL I GET INVITED AND SEE WHAT I DO BEFORE CALLING ME BORING. BORING?  THAT STUPID SON OF A BITCH."

WE POINTED OUT THAT HE HAD PREVIOUSLY DECLARED "EVERY UKRANIAN" TO BE ''FEARLESS'' AND STATED THAT THEY "INSPIRED THE WORLD," WE ASKED JOE ABOUT THE FACT THAT A NUMBER OF UKRANIANS USE THE N-WORD AND ARE OPENLY RACIST -- AS THE PEACE CORPS HAS NOTED.  SO, WE ASKED, ARE ALL OF THEM REALLY 'INSPIRING' TO THE WORLD?

"I SEE, I SEE," JOE SAID GETTING A LITTLE TESTY.  "SO THREE OF YOU ARE BLACK AND I GET IT. AND THE WHITE GUY [WALLY], YOU GREW UP IN A RACIAL JUNGLE, LIKE I TALKED ABOUT.  WELL I WAS FRIENDS WITH YOU PEOPLE, I WAS FRIENDS WITH CORN POP.  ME AND CORN POP WERE TIGHT.  AND HE WASN'T MY ONLY BLACK FRIEND.  I HAD PLENTY OF BLACK FRIENDS -- UH, THERE WAS -- UH, GIVE ME A MINUTE -- UH, BARACK!  BARACK OBAMA WAS MY FRIEND TOO!  BARACK AND CORN POP!!! SEE.  LOOK, MAN, I'M NOT RACIST.  JAMES O. EASTLAND, STROM THURMOND AND ME USED TO TELL THE FUNNIEST BLACK JOKES TO ONE ANOTHER IN THE 70S.  YOU GOT TO REALLY KNOW THE BLACKS TO TELL A REALLY GOOD BLACK JOKE AND JOE BIDEN KNOWS THE BLACKS.  KAMALA!  MY VICE PRESIDENT IS BLACK! I ALWAYS FORGET HER FOR SOME REASON.  SEE, I KNOW ALL THE BLACKS AND THEY ALL LOVE THEM SOME JOE BIDEN."


WHAT ABOUT THE ECONOMY, WE ASKED THE PRESIDENT, INFLATION IS SOARING, GAS PRICES ARE SOARING, WHAT HAS HE DELIVERED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? 


"WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!'' JOE EXCLAIMED.  "WHAT YOU DON'T GET IS THAT THIS IS AN INFLECTION POINT."


HUH?


"AN INFLECTION POINT IN HISTORY!  THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. LOOK, MAN, I DON'T HAVE TIME TO EDUCATE YOU.  GET WITH THE PROGRAM."


WE TURNED THE TOPIC TO HUNTER BIDEN, THE PRESIDENT'S SON, AND NOTED THAT THE INFAMOUS LAPTOP WAS HUNTER'S AND THAT THE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE WASHINGTON POST HAVE ADMITTED THAT, OVER A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, AS HAS POLITICO AND OTHER OUTLETS.  THE E-MAILS ON THE LAPTOP DETAIL CORRUPTION AND SHADY DEALS THAT SHOW PLAY-FOR-PAY.

''I KNOW YOU'D ASK IT!" THE PRESIDENT SNAPPED.  "I HAVE NO RESPONSE, IT'S ANOTHER SMEAR CAMPAIGN, RIGHT UP YOUR ALLEY, THOSE ARE THE QUESTIONS YOU ALWAYS ASK."

BUT, WE POINTED OUT, THE LATEST E-MAILS DETAIL HOW HUNTER USED THEN-VICE PRESIDENT JOE TO GET EMPLOYMENT FOR HIS 'PALS.'  PAY TO PLAY?  IS THAT REALLY THE MESSAGE TO GET BEHIND?


"WHAT THE F**K ARE WE DOING?'' SNARLED JOE. "CLAP FOR THAT YOU STUPID BASTARDS!  MAN, YOU ARE A DULL BUNCH."


WITH THAT, THE PRESIDENT WALKED OUT OF OUR INTERVIEW.

 

FROM THE TCI WIRE:


Do we ever learn?  Or maybe the better question is: Do they ever learn>


As 2001 drew to a close, the US press began destroying their own reputations.  It was one act of professional suicide after another.  October 2001, for those who don't know, is when THE NEW YORK TIMES ran their first cover story linking -- falsely linking -- the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the US to the government of Iraq.  

There was no link.  

Saddam Hussein ruled Iraq at the time.  He did not allow al Qaeda to operate in Iraq.  Had they operated there freely, they would have overthrown him because he was over a secular government and because they were sympathetic to those who were not in power in Saddam's Iraq.

But NYT, THE WASHINGTON POST, the broadcast networks, the cable networks, etc, etc repeated one lie after another to start that illegal war.  

It's probably hard if you weren't there when it happened and if you weren't of an age to have grasped it as it happened -- hard to now understand what took place.  Back then, the media could talk of nothing but Iraq.  That's the same US media that ignores Iraq today that barely noted that the war hit the 19 year mark last month, that acts as though US troops are no longer in Iraq and that the US created (imposed) some wonderful government there.

They lied.  They lied over and over.

Liars got rewarded.

Kevin Drum is at MOTHER JONES.  No consequences.  It's not just big media that rewarded liars, little media has done the same.  

But they lied.

Oprah didn't suffer.  She brought Judith Miller onto her daily program to lie and when an audience member challenged the lies Judith was spewing, Oprah attacked the audience member.

No one ever took accountability.

And the media suffered.  In the aftermath, they wanted to pretend as though there was no reason for so many to distrust them and even now they act that way.  Especially now.  They don't mention Iraq and they hope everyone else has forgotten.

But that was a sea change for perception of the media.

It appears it was also a behavior shift because the media had not only done nothing to restore trust in their own profession, they have continued to present lies as fact and ignore reality while silencing any questioning.

The rolly polly and disgusting Brian Stelter of CNN was speaking this week about disinformation.  No, he wasn't finally taking responsibility for his multitude of journalistic sins.  The idiot really thought he had a soap box to stand upon and lecture others from.  A conservative student commented with a list of the most recent appalling journalistic sins -- or some of them, there are far too many for one person to ever list unless they're delivering a 24 hour filibuster -- and Brian avoided the question and wanted to instead wanted to talk about Ukraine and how others worked with FOX NEWS there regarding a journalist and -- I'm sorry, we aren't that stupid.

And we're not whining, "Why can't you all work together!"

In fact, the problem has often been that you do work together -- right and left -- such as when you sold the illegal war on Iraq.

Working together is frequently the only work you ever do.

You're certainly not working for the public good.


You 'work' to advances causes and candidates.

You're not telling the truth.  You're actively suppressing the truth.

Anne Applebaum, after disgracing herself as THE WASHINGTON POST for years (Bob Somerby long ago dubbed her Annie Apples_ wanted to tell people this week that there was no reason to cover Hunter Biden's laptop and the proof of corruption it contained.



It appears that some media have a new narrative after admitting that the Hunter Biden laptop is legitimate after all. According to Atlantic Magazine writer and Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Applebaum, the story never did matter because it was just not interesting and “totally irrelevant” to her. Strangely, however, it once did. Applebaum pushed the false narrative as she was slamming others for publishing “Russian disinformation” and using the Hunter Biden story as an example. It only became uninteresting when it turned out to be true. The one convincing assertion, however, is that it was simply not viewed as “relevant.” What was clearly relevant for Twitter and most media outlets was the election of Joe Biden. Otherwise, as captured by Gaston de La Touche, it is a matter of sheer boredom.

Applebaum was at my alma mater, The University of Chicago, for the Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy conference on Wednesday.  The conference appeared largely an echo-chamber, a disappointing lineup for UChicago which is known to value a diversity of opinion. Applebaum slammed Fox and its viewers: “Those who live outside the Fox News bubble and intend to remain there do not, of course, need to learn any of this stuff.” (For the record, I work as a legal analyst at Fox).


What an idiot and what a liar.  She's at THE ATLANTIC now so she can probably lie more freely.  But the country's not better off because of it.
