Vivek Ramaswamy educates Dana Bash on the role of journalists in politics

Vivek Ramaswamy has his hands full. He has begun to educate Democrat show hosts on CNN about the role journalists are supposed to play in politics. He reminded Dana Bash on Sunday’s edition of the network’s State of the Union that their job is to ask questions and seek the truth from all politicians.

He told Bash that they are doing the bidding of Joe Biden and of course she tried to deny that.

That was pretty much a perfect way to get his point across. “The job of the political media is to hold the U.S. government accountable.” Bash tries to butt in and says, “We know that.” I have no doubt that they know what their jobs are but they just choose to ignore that. Instead, they cover up for Biden, the Biden crime family business, and any Democrat running for office. There were hosts on MSNBC singing the praises of John Fetterman during his campaign, for heaven’s sake, when he was clearly addled by the effects of a life-threatening stroke. They chose to ignore mentioning the obvious and instead pumped up his decision to remain in the race, whether he is able to do the job or not.

Democrats and their cohorts in the press are busy denying any coordination between Joe Biden and Merrick Garland at DOJ. It is as though Garland made the decision to allow a former president to be indicted without any acknowledgement from Biden to go ahead with his plan. That is absurd. The chain of command goes from Biden to Garland. Biden is Garland’s boss. Biden appointed Garland. Garland does nothing that Biden doesn’t want him to do. The attorney general is a statutory member of the Cabinet of the United States.

How does the press cover the Biden presidency? They cover it as though they are deaf, dumb, and blind. When something happens that they cannot ignore, like when Biden takes a fall on stage and has to be helped up by others on stage with him, the press immediately said Biden is fine. They immediately pivoted to Trump’s careful walk down a ramp without hand rails in dress shoes. Biden’s fall, by the way, exposed the soles of his shoes and the rubber accessories that stabilize his gait as he walks.

The MSM thinks you are dumb. They say what they want to say and expect to never be questioned about how they do their jobs. They think they are special human beings.

While Biden is looking more and more lost on every stage he appears on and has to be led off each one, he is busy talking about “transjesters” and transgender everything. He and Jill hosted a Pride event on the lawn of the White House Saturday that was touted by the administration as largest-ever such event at the White House. Unfortunately, his staff is writing fake news for him to recite when he speaks to the public.

Republicans get kicked out of restaurants. That’s ok with Democrats. Think about if Trump was falling on a regular basis, whether it is on stage or on the stairs leading up to Air Force One, or maybe the steps at a NATO meeting. There would be calls for the use of the 25th Amendment on a regular basis. We remember how it was when the television psychologists became experts on Trump’s mental state and cable news shows did endless segments about if Trump was mentally capable of doing his job. Where is all that talk now with a clearly failing Joe Biden?

CNN’s Dana Bash went on to say that the journalists at the network ask questions as they relate to the administration “each and every day.” Perhaps journalism has been so corrupted with liberal political ideology that it is seen as normal now. Good for Vivek for speaking up and telling her to her face that they are not doing their jobs, but the bidding of the White House.
