Curious Why US News Networks Are Supportive of Chinese Government? Just Look at the Corporate Ownership (Apr 24, 2020)

There have been a number of disturbing reactions in the press when it comes to the coverage of the coronavirus outbreak. From the distortion of the administration's actions to the contradictions in the critiques to the focus on only negative outcomes, the media complex has been notably obnoxious. One of the other truly disturbing actions has been the coverage of China and its role in all of this global pandemic strife.

The press has ranged from excusing responsibility to spearheading the Chi-Com insistence that the term ‘’Wuhan virus’’ be deemed racist, in order to skirt blame for the outbreak’s origins. There has been light coverage of the efforts to restrict notification of other nations, scant reports on the harsh methods employed by the government on the Mainland to contain the virus, and barely notice made of the suspect outreach by China - from flawed healthcare equipment sold to tainted testing kits delivered to nations. Excusing the World Health Organization of culpability is another connected result.

Our press has been also speaking glowingly on how China supposedly has been successful in containing its virus problem. There has been little curiosity to look into this claim, showing a willingness to merely repeat the party line delivered by the ruling party, despite two glaring issues. This is the same ruling class that has practiced sophistry and misdirection with the initial outbreak, yet no questions are posed about the veracity of current reports from this same source. Additionally, if the Chinese are experiencing such a grand reaction in efforts to stem the outbreak, why are they not offering the rest of the world their successful techniques?

These are questions not to be posed by our journalist class. While many are dismayed at the fawning behavior of our media elites regarding a communist regime it

That’s a repost, but a worthwhile one. I bookmarked it when it came around the first time, it was so good. I texted it to a friend today.

U.S. news networks are the enemy. They need to be dealt with accordingly.

Communists always stick together. The only way to get rid of communists is to kill them.

China has be slowly gaining power under the radar for years and biding their time for this moment. In 2012 a high level CCP party official, Wang Lijun, defected to the US consolate with a treasure trove of intelligence. He asked for asylum under the Refugee Act. The CIA and State Department were ecstatic at this intelligence coup and quickly sought approval up the chain. Everything was set to fly him out of China until Joe Biden, the point man in China, found out. Biden had arranged a meeting between Xi Jinping and Jeffery Katzenburg of Hollywood’s Dreamworks Studio to promote greater Chinese investment in US film production.

Biden vetoed all the US agencies and ordered Wang turned over to the Chinese secret police rather than risk upsetting Xi and losing the investment deal. Wang is currently being held in a Chinese prison on a 14 year sentence and his status is uncertain.

IF this can be confirmed it needs to be publicized at every opportunity.
