The Pro-Biden Press Corps Is Deeply Embarrassing
Townhall.com ^ | March 26, 2021 | Tim Graham,

resident Biden's first formal press conference is in the books, and it was deeply embarrassing to anyone who thinks the media's job is to hold presidents accountable.

Taxpayer-enabled PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor was the worst. She complimented the president, saying: "You've said over and over again that immigrants shouldn't come to this country right now; this isn't the time to come. That message is not being received. Instead, the perception of you that got you elected as a moral, decent man is the reason why a lot of immigrants are coming to this country and are trusting you with unaccompanied minors."

Mr. President, you're a decency magnet! Biden replied: "Well, look, I guess I should be flattered people are coming because I'm the nice guy. That's the reason why it's happening."

One overarching theme of the reporters Team Biden hand-picked was their lust for the destruction of the filibuster and their channeling power-hungry leftists such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who want a "big agenda."

Alcindor followed up by noting that Zeke Miller of the Associated Press began the event by vaguely asking how far Biden is willing to go to override Republicans (hint, hint). She mentioned immigration: "(I)mmigration is a big issue, of course, when it -- related to the filibuster, but there's also Republicans who are passing bill after bill trying to restrict voting rights, Chuck Schumer calling it an existential threat to democracy. Why not back a filibuster rule that at least gets around issues, including voting rights or immigration?"

Washington Post reporter Seung Min Kim echoed: "To follow up on the filibuster: So, do you believe it should take 60 votes to end a filibuster on legislation or 51?"

CBS News reporter Nancy Cordes repeated that Republicans want to "restrict" voting for young people and minorities and asked, "Is there anything else you can do about it besides passing legislation?"

CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins didn't rip into Biden like Jim Acosta. She doubled down on crushing the filibuster. "At John Lewis' funeral, President Barack Obama said he believed the filibuster was a 'relic' of the Jim Crow era. Do you agree?" she asked. Biden said yes. She added, "Why not abolish it if it's a relic of the Jim Crow era?"

Was it racist when Obama or Biden filibustered? No one asked.

How is it fair or factual to claim that Republican bills that would require voters to show voter ID at the polls or a signature verification for a mail-in ballot are relics of Jim Crow? CNN claims to be "Facts First"? This is a pants-on-fire lie.

The other dominant issue was immigration. ABC News' Cecilia Vega channeled the story of a 9-year-old immigrant being sent to America by his mother. (There's no criticism of the mother.) She lectured Biden by noting that unaccompanied minors are sleeping on floors. Janet Rodriguez with Univision, which is both a TV network and an immigration advocacy group, demanded to know when all these shameless border crossers are going to get a smoother entry. "When can we expect your promise of things getting better with contacting and expediency and processing?" she asked.

To her credit, NBC's Kristen Welker asked when Biden will allow the press inside the overcrowded facilities for unaccompanied minors, and she was denied a serious answer. There were serious questions about Afghanistan and China and North Korea.

But overall, there were no questions allowed from outside the liberal-media bubble. Peter Doocy of Fox News was snubbed. It all felt carefully scripted, as Biden seemed to be reading some answers from a notebook. Most reporters pushed the president to be more partisan, more radical, to defeat allegedly racist, democracy-destroying, "restrictive" Republicans. It felt much more like a cozy Democratic strategy session than a press conference.

The “nice guy” line of BS is a big seller with the watrheads. It matters mire than election integrity.

Chanel Rion of OAN was not even allowed in the room.

She’s a real reporter/journalist.

Ten questions by pre-selected “reporters”, for which he had the answers/responses on cheat sheets/cards.

Even then he rambled on incoherently.

Presstitutes aren’t pro Biden.

They’re lackeys for Deep State.

This so called press conference was complete and utter disaster. It was abundantly obvious that Biden had the questions and answers on cheat sheets and it all seemed as if it had been rehearsed. Yamiche Alcindor jumped up to pitch Biden softball questions even though he completed mispronounced her name. Alcindor is a partisan hack and not a journalist. Worse still she is being paid with tax dollars at PBS.

...elected as a moral, decent man...

PBS could poll every one of those 80 million Gropin' Joe 'voters' and none will repeat those words.

The press corps was a disgrace. Reminded me of the filmed pressers from China held by Mao Tse Tug about Viet Nam.

Next thing you know Joe will announce a 5 year plan and publish a little red book, .............errr oops...... that is already happening with HR1, the bill to federalize all elections and get rid of the Senate filibuster, sp as Jpe said, there will be no Republican party.Do the RINOS iunderstand that they must fight ...YET?

I fear that the international enemies of America will insinuate themselves into methods of destruction that Biden will refuse to even acknowledge.

Meanwhile on the Southern border illegalaliens lie in theior own vomit, packed into facilities like sardines to assure a national infection vector of South American Covid 19, to assure that draconian reductions of freedom and liberty can continue, assuring tyranny for the future, and weakening America beyond recognition.

These tyrants mean to destroy America, and we must not allow them to do it, no matter how many national guard and 12 foot fences topped with razor wire they have established in Washington D.C. The time is now coming when none of these tyrants will dare venture out beyond their perimeter of concertina wire , and coming crew served machine guns already requested by Pelosi.

No questions on the military stand down and lecturing by newly minted ALINSKYITE military political officers about not exercising free speech...NOT ONE QUESTION FROM THE PRESS?

The positive note is that these Alinsky tyrants are now sowing the seeds of their own destruction.The cover provided them by a radical press will only work for so long.

Heil Hitlah Joe! You and yours live on borrowed time.

“The press corps was a disgrace.”

The “press” in terms of the US Constitution was not in the room yesterday. It’s corp (leftist) media in the room, who are active demonkrap party members.

Even a simple question like - “It’s almost April, when is your State of The Union address?” - couldn’t be (allowed to be) asked. Grave concerns about Buyden’s physical and mental state should be screaming from the headlines today, especially after his triple Lindy on AF1 last week. But it won’t because the media is an active player in what is going on.

PBS WH correspondent Yamiche Alcindor desperately wants a spot in the
Bungle Biden admin.....either that, or she's been tipping the tequila bottle too often.

(GAG-A-RAMA) She suckedup bigtime: "You've said over and over again this isn't the time to come over.
That message is not being received.... but the perception that you got elected as a moral, decent man is why
immigrants are coming and are trusting you with unaccompanied minors."

============================================

REALITY CHECK The big-big girl was hand-picked by Biden handlers to suckup to Biden's gargantuan ego
and to make sure everybody knows what a "nice guy" he is.

“...but the perception that you got elected as a moral, decent man is why immigrants are coming and are trusting you with unaccompanied minors.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The “moral, decent” dog-faced pony soldier who can’t stop himself from insulting people from the no-named voter all the way to telling POTUS to shut up during a “debate”. Perception or truth as to his morality and decency? SHe used the right word, “perception” because it isn’t the truth.

Nice catch....although she's not bright enough to see the nuances there.

The time is now here when our elected/appointed govt tyrants will not dare venture out beyond their perimeter of concertina wire surrounding the Capitol.

The cowardly tyrants are scared silly and have to be protected from the populace.

A crew w/ machine guns is getting ready to protect them (ironically —— requested by gun-grabber Pelosi).

Freeper Fred Nerks sent me this, its very good.

I put it up on face book and already i am getting nasty
reactions combined with big likes, LOL. Now I am sending the link to populist.press

The truth is in this video for all to see.

The danger is that once the world discovers the manipulation of Joe Biden by Susan Rice and Obama,done in order to avoid all transparency by allowing Joe’s issue to obscure their tyranny with Joe’s mental fog , there will be some huge anger.

Meanwhile the Constitution is out the window.

The fog of war just, “Ooops!”, happens to coincide with Joe Fog.

So many questions cannot be asked of Biden that need asking.

Homeo Sapiens has become Homeo Obscura.

And behind that obscurity is where the greatest of tyranny lies. Like the brainwashing of the military by newly minted Alinskyite political officers in the military, just as it was with the Nazi SS, and the red Chinese Commissariat in history.

This video is well worth the watching.
