This Question For Biden About Navalny's Death Drives Another Nail In The 'Journalism' Coffin

In a fairly rare occurrence, President Biden talked briefly with reporters earlier today, and in one exchange it was the "journalist" who received the most attention for how this was framed: Moments ago at the White House: Reporter Q: Would you go as far to say Alexei Navalny’s blood is on the hands of House Republicans right now? - Biden: I wouldn’t use that term, but they’re making a big mistake not responding. -- Seriously? The attempted activist "journalism" in this question is just amazing: Reporter Q: Would you go as far to say Alexei Navalny’s blood is on the hands of House Republicans right now? - Biden: I wouldn’t use that term, but they’re making a big mistake not responding. -- We would go as far as to say "journalism" is completely broken.

Who asked that question? It might not surprise anybody to know that question came from a CNN reporter, and as you saw it was even too much for Biden to agree with (though it sounds like a question one of his staffers might have suggested be asked): UPDATE: We have a winner. Thanks to some eagle-eared friends and her own admission on CNN, the hack who asked this was M.J. Lee. Pathetic. There was a great question that could have been asked about something Biden said three years ago about Navalny, but instead, this particular alleged reporter thought making it about Republicans was preferable: Biden said there would be devastating consequences for Russia if Navalny died in custody. Perhaps we can get a follow up on what those would be. https://rumble.com/v4e3jnl-flashback-biden-warns-of-consequences-if-alexei-navalny-dies.html

Maybe the "reporter" was auditioning for a job in Biden's press office. Even literal elected Democrats are sometimes less hacktastically partisan than journos. Hack-tastic! However much you despise the media with all your heart and soul, it’s not nearly enough. Each day brings with it a new example of why that's so true.
