The Day the White House Press Corps Went Full ChiCom Propaganda
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 04/07/2020 4:09:24 AM PDT by EyesOfTX

Thanks to Jonathan Karl for making my point for me. – I have repeatedly noted in recent weeks the fact that pretty much all of the big corporations who own all of the nation’s fake, corrupt news media outlets have been infected with ChiCom money and business interests just as America has been infected with the ChiCom-generated Wuhan Virus.

As if to emphasize that point for me, ABC News’s Jonathan Karl, the current head of the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) invited a “reporter” from a Hong Kong-based media operation that is in fact majority owned by ChiCom interests, including a former propaganda officer for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to question the President of the United States of America.

Here’s an excerpt from a report at The National Pulse:

The Hong Kong/Cayman Islands based Phoenix Media is actually owned in large part by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and by a former CCP propaganda officer.

As of 2018, Phoenix Satellite Holdings was owned by Liu Changle (37.1% of shares). Changle is a “former PLA propaganda official who is close to senior Chinese government leaders”.

Changle previously worked as a propaganda officer for China National Radio (then known as the Central People’s Broadcasting Station).

A further 20 percent of the company is owned by Extra Step Investments Limited, in turn owned by China Mobile Hong Kong, which itself is owned by the Chinese government-owned China Mobile.

Eight more percent of the company is owned by China Wise Investment Ltd, owned by the Bank of China.

This means at least 65 percent of the company is owned by the government of China.

For journalist Youyou Wang to claim she works for a private company is an outright lie.

[End]

Karl, one of the most execrable hacks in the entirety of the corrupt press corps, obviously hoped that the planted propagandist could entrap the President into giving some sort of controversial answer that would generate negative fake news stories. But Trump, as is his habit, immediately caught onto the ruse and called the ChiCom out.

Watch this clip, followed by a transcript:

Benny ✔ @bennyjohnson Holy shit.

These are the ***same people*** that screamed until their voices cracked about Russian interference and Russian propaganda for years.

Now they invite *literal* Communist Chinese propaganda mouthpieces into the WH to question POTUS & applaud it

Transcript:

Trump: [The ChiCom government] has agreed to spend $250 billion, many billions of dollars in our country, much of it going to farmers and manufacturers. So, I’ll let you know – I hope they’re going to honor the deal, I’ll let you know.

ChiCom Propagandist: Are you cooperating with China?

Trump: Who are you working for, China? Are you with China, are you with a news paper? Who are you working for?

ChiCom Propagandist: I don’t work for the…Hong Kong Phoenix TV.

Trump: Who owns that, China? Is it owned by China?

ChiCom Propagandist: It’s based in Hong Kong.

Trump: Is it owned by China? Is it owned by the State?

ChiCom Propagandist: No, it’s not, it’s a private owned company.

Trump: Yeah, ok.

Look, I’ll let you know. I’ll give you a good answer in a few months. I want to just see what they do. Because it’s time for them to help us. It’s time, right now, for China to help us. And hopefully they do. And if they don’t, that’s ok, too. But we signed a deal, it was signed with great good will and spirit. And it’s time that our farmers benefitted, that our manufacturers benefited, and we’ll see whether or not that deal is honored.

I think it will be because I know President Xi, who I like and respect. I think he will honor the deal he made with us. It just went into effect four days ago. I would … we’ll see whether he does or not. In fact, I called up, just a little while ago, I said, how are the farmers doing with respect to China? Are they buying the product as anticipated? And the answer was, yeah, I think so, but it wasn’t the most positive. But it was starting, the deal was just getting started. So, I’ll let you know.

For many many years, China ate our lunch because we had people in this position I’m in right now that allowed China to get away with absolute murder.

ChiCom Propagandist: [tries to interrupt with a question about the virus]

Trump: [ignores her] But we are now dealing with China and we’ll see what happens.

[End]

Now, it wasn’t the most controversial of exchanges because President Trump quickly realized who he was talking with. But I wanted to memorialize it here because it captures the moment when the White House press corps, which includes all of our nation’s major corrupt media outlets, went full-on into the tank for a clear and present enemy of our country.

We are at war with China whether the media wants to admit it or not. The ChiCom government intentionally and with clear malice attacked us and most other nations of the world with a virus that will end up killing thousands and causing the most severe global recessions since the Great Depression.

Inviting this propaganda agent for the ChiCom government is no different than if the WHCA had brought in a Nazi or Japanese propagandist there in 1943, or a Russian propagandist into the White House during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

President Trump told the nation in January of 2017 that these corrupt and highly-compromised media operations were the enemies of the people. Yesterday, Jonathan Karl and the WHCA went out of their way to unambiguously prove that point. This was the moment when the thin veil came completely off.

There is no worse or more destructive class of people in our country than the members of the WHCA and the media operations that employ them.

That is all.

Contrast the welcoming actions of the WHCA toward ChiCom propagandists with those toward Chanel Rion of OANN.
