OPINION:
Again the Washington press corps has proven that it is nothing more than a shill for the Democratic Party, and for President Obama in particular. Last week Mr. Obama held a press conference at which he took credit for a mythical growing and dynamic economy. He then took questions, and his lackeys in the media bombarded him with their dazzling display of pointed queries on his remarks.
First they asked about his reaction to Donald Trump’s presumptive-nominee status, and then they asked whether he thought it was time for Bernie Sanders to step aside. After that an inquiring media mind asked about Mr. Obama’s “message” to undecided Democratic voters, followed by whether Mr. Obama had seen Mr. Trump’s Cinco de Mayo ’taco tweets.’
The final question seemed to actually relate to the point of part of Mr. Obama’s speech; it was about the Washington Metro. A media member asked Mr. Obama about his plans for the subway system given that Republicans are “blocking” an infrastructure bill designed specifically to fix Metro problems.
Yes, these questions came from the so-called self-appointed protectors of the truth, those who claim to ask the ’tough’ and ’unbiased’ questions of our elected leaders. I now ask, Which of the above was either tough or unbiased?
