White House press corps got more than they bargained for yesterday in the Rose Garden with 74-year-old President Donald Trump delivering more a campaign speech than a standard news conference. Following the event, the New York Times delivered one-thousand words rebutting everything Trump said, claiming to fact-check the president’s statements. New York Times fact checkers nitpicked on practically every word, except when it came to 77-tear-old former Vice President Joe Biden’s 50-year-old son Hunter, who Trump blasted for taking an $83,000 a month job while his father was in office for corrupt Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holding’s board. Hunter made millions over a four-year period, admitting reluctantly under intense questioning by ABC’s “Good Morning America” Oct. 15, 2019 that it was “bad judgment” taking the job, making his Vice President father look bad.
New York Times and CNN critics brought up nothing in their critique of Trump’s press conference about Hunter because they know there’s very little excuse for Joe using his position as former President Barack Obama’s VP to land Hunter a ludrative job. When you consider Joe was heading up Obama’s anti-corruption task force on Ukraine, it’s astonishing he would get Hunter the job. Trump also raised Hunter getting $1.5 billion from China for U.S. BHR Equity Investment Fund Management while serving as a board member. New York Times and CNN’s White House correspondent Jim Acosta, among Trump’s most vociferous media critics, had nothing to say about Hunter’s job on Burisma’s board or getting the $1.5 billion in investment capital while accompanying his father on a China trip. No one at the New York Times, CNN or any other anti-Trump media outlet wants the public to know the truth about Joe.
Acosta preached to choir on CNN’s Anderson Cooper’s “AC 360” show, only ripping Trump for using a White House presser for political gain. “Presidents do not use the Rose Garden in that kind of naked political fashion,” Acosta said. “That was not a press conference, as the WH described it. It was a campaign rally disguised as a press conference. It was a bait and switch,” insisted Acosta. Acosta, of course, doesn’t admit that CNN is not a news network but a disinformation front for the Democrat Party, using its airwaves to attack the president and Republican Party at all times. Acosta finds it disgusting that Trump would use a press conference for political purposes but has no problem slamming Trump serving the Democrat Party. Trump “soiled” the White House press conference, not admitting that CNN violates journalistic ethics daily to advance the Democrat Party agenda.
Cooper called Trump’s press conference a “meandering screed,” noting that Trump took his time to itemize his campaign talking points. Watching the New York Times fact-check anything Trump says, is like letting the Fox inside the chicken coop. Only yesterday, the New York Times was slammed by former opinion page editor Bari Weiss, who detailed the bullying she received at the paper for daring to express a “centrist” point of view. To Bari, she was profoundly mistreated and “bullied” for holding views not mirroring the New York Times’ party-line. Yet to Cooper and Acosta, bashing Trump has been so routine before-and-after his swearing Jan. 20, 2017, it’s second nature to them. Cooper, Acosta and other CNN reporters and hosts routinely slam Trump as part of their daily duties. Yet when Trump tweets or tells his story in press conferences or speeches, he’s breached his duty.
Trump has no way to get his word out other than on Twitter, press conferences or campaign speeches. When you consider the undeniable left-wing bias against his presidency, there’s no other way for Trump to give his side of the story. “Is there anyone around the president who shakes their head when they hear rambling in the Rose Garden like?” Cooper asked Acosta. “No, Anderson, we’re down to Kool-Aid drinkers and next of kin here at the Trump White House,” Acosta said, not admitting that he and Cooper are part of the resistance to get rid of Trump. Whatever Cooper and Acosta say about Trump, they’re projecting what they do on a daily basis. “There are no more adults that will level with the president and tell him he can’t delivers a rally-like rant in the Rose Garden as he did earlier,” Acosta said. Trump’s backers look forward to him defending himself at the White House or anywhere else.
New York Times and CNN fact-checkers prove that they only fact-check when it suits their agenda. CNN and the Times ignore completely Joe’s inappropriate influence applied to Ukraine to land his former cocaine addict son a lucrative job. Nitpicking over other facts, the fake news media gets to discredit Trump anyway it can. Ignoring Joe’s past intervention in Ukrainian politics by getting former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to fire chief prosecutor Viktor Shokin because he was looking into Hunter’s job at Burisma Holdings tells the whole story about fake news. To the New York Time and CNN, Trump must be defined as a traitor, resenting when he gives a different side of the story. For four years, the Times and CNN spent most their time writing and talking about Trump’s alleged Russian collusion, until their hero, former FBI Director and Special Counsel Robert Mueller, said it didn’t happen.
