The Media Headlines on Dan Bongino's FBI Deputy Director Appointment Were Something Else

 

  • NYT: Right-Wing Commentator Named F.B.I. Deputy Director
  • BBC: Trump names podcaster Dan Bongino as deputy FBI director
  • WaPo: Trump announces conservative podcaster Dan Bongino as FBI deputy director
  • NPR: What to know about Dan Bongino, the media personality tapped as FBI deputy director
  • Politico: Trump names podcaster Dan Bongino to be second-in-command at FBI

While Bongino is indeed all of those things and there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of them, the purpose behind the headlines was to - as they did with Kash Patel - diminish Bongino's qualifications to be the second in charge at the FBI. Though most people reading this know he has extensive Secret Service and law enforcement experience, not everyone out there is familiar with Bongino's background. 

 

Because oftentimes people only read social media headlines instead of the full piece (which the press counts on), the idea was to get them to question the wisdom of Bongino being appointed to such an important position with his "only" qualifications (as they tried to portray them) being that he was a popular conservative commentator and was fiercely loyal to Trump.

It's amazing how many people bought the "stutter" lie to cover for his dementia.  Even supposed medical professionals.
