THE SOTU SPIN: 

 

State of the Union: Biden sees economic glow, GOP sees gloom.

 

 

Notice the anti-GOP bias built into the headline. But…

 

 

The Reality: Record numbers of people are worse off, a recipe for political discontent. “Four in 10 Americans say they’ve gotten worse off financially since Joe Biden became president, the most in ABC News/Washington Post polls dating back 37 years.

 

Political fallout includes poor performance ratings for Biden and a tight hypothetical Biden/Trump rematch next year.”

"Evidence based explanations".  Who can argue with that?  But only approved evidence supporting the explanation (excluding anything that doesn't) from approved sources disseminated to the public through approved media outlets.

Multiple examples of the media using this tactic and being called out with receipts.

 

But sure, the media is trustworthy.

The Latest Press Defense of Hunter Biden Is Absolutely Shameless

 

FTA:

Yes, despite the fact that Joe Biden’s son is allegedly implicated in illegal activity ranging from tax fraud to possibly sex crimes, it’s Kushner and Donald Trump who are drawing the eye of a media desperate to change the subject. 

 

The Washington Post, which has gone to great lengths to not fully investigate Hunter Biden’s activities, released an expose on Sunday morning detailing how Kushner and his father-in-law supposedly benefit from their relationship with the Saudis.

 

The day after leaving the White House, Kushner created a company that he transformed months laterinto a private equity firm with $2 billion from a sovereign wealth fund chaired by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Kushner’s firm structured those fundsin sucha way that it did not have to disclose the source, according to previously unreported details of Securities and Exchange Commission forms reviewed by The Washington Post. His business used a commonly employed strategy that allows many equity firms to avoid transparency about funding sources, experts said.

 

A year after his presidency, Trump’s golf courses began hosting tournaments for the Saudi fund-backed LIV Golf. Separately, the former president’s family company, the Trump Organization,secured an agreement with a Saudi real estate company that plans to build a Trump hotel as part of a $4 billion golf resort in Oman.

The substantial investments by the Saudis in enterprises that benefited both mencame after they cultivated close ties with Mohammed while Trump was in office — helping the crown prince’s standing by scheduling Trump’s first presidential trip to Saudi Arabia, backing him amid numerous international crises and meeting with him repeatedly in D.C. and the kingdom, including on a finaltrip Kushner took to Saudi Arabia on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack.

 

Despite all those written words (and there are many more in the source article), there’s one thing the Post fails to cover: None of what is mentioned is illegal or even unusual.

 

Presidents and former administration officials almost always leave office and make lots of money due to relationships they forged while in office. Joe Biden himself went from being relatively poor for a politician to being a multi-millionaire in just a few years after leaving the Obama administration. Much of that came from sweetheart opportunities due to having been vice president. Obama himself is fabulously wealthy now, and it’s not because of his books.

 

In the case of Kushner, he returned to his life in the finance world after the Trump administration, starting a hedge fund in which the Saudis invested. Other business deals for hotels and LIV Golf have also occurred.

 

There are two reasons those dealings bear zero resemblance to those of Hunter Biden. For one, Kushner waited until Trump left office so as to avoid any ethical or legal complications. In contrast, Hunter Biden was selling influence and picking up bags of cash from foreign countries while Joe Biden was vice president. Secondly, Hunter Biden is accused of actual crimes while Kushner appears to have done everything legally. Further, Kushner also didn’t do crack while hiring prostitutes after allegedly buying guns illegally and cheating on his taxes. But details, am I right?

 

Still, the press was rip-roaring and ready to go with the Kushner nonsense this morning, using it as a way to protect the current president’s degenerate son.

Absolutely shameless behavior on the part of George Stephanopoulos. What is there to investigate about Kushner? All his dealing came post-office and have been known about since the beginning. Meanwhile, this idiocy from ABC News (cited from the Post) serves as a de facto defense of a coked-up alleged sexual predator who is under FBI investigation. How morally depraved are members of the press that they’d actually try to deflect from that?

That is funny.  Funnier is how the CCP and Democrats employ the same tactics and strategies that use mainstream and social media to spread disinformation and propaganda while censoring dissenting views.  It's almost like they attended the same Ivy League universities and took the same classes taught by the same professors.  Oh, wait.  They did!

Nobody is stopping you from being a bootlicker for the free press. Thank you for not calling them honest. That would be too much even for you.

In second clip we have quite the laundry list of proven disinformation from a single IC mouthpiece in the media.  And we still have the @redtail hawk @ChiGoose @BillStime @Tiberius et al. trusting these types of outlets without question.

 

These people are lost forever to the corrupt IC/media propaganda machine.

 

But sure, Tucker Carlson is the problem.

 

Open wide.....

The free press is the backbone of our democracy. No wonder the GOP hates it
