democrats and democrat-controlled media have become China’s useful idiots

When news of the Wuhan virus broke, most were content to call it what is was- the Chinese Wuhan Virus. Not long after China began its propaganda war as means of distracting from the truth. The left wing democrat-run media soon joined in:

Over the weekend, some members of the American media shared this story with indignation and scorn.  How dare the Trump administration devote resources and effort to a 'blame game' with China over the global pandemic?  The strategy was cast as a cynical ploy to deflect responsibility and scapegoat a foreign nation -- probably with insidious racial implications, to boot.  Just more pointless, reckless, xenophobic malpractice, they fumed. Note the scare quotes around, ahem, "cover up:"

In other words, the White House would like US officials to tell the established truth (seriously, read this -- the empirical reality is not in dispute), in the face of ongoing information warfare from Beijing.  Well, we can't have that:

But hold on a minute

The media outcry belies the fact that establishment outlets have also referred to coronavirus, formally named COVID-19, as “the Chinese virus” and “the Wuhan virus.” The New York Times, for example, has used both terms in reference to the virus, but is now painting Trump using the same language as problematic.

Even Chinese state media initially referred to the virus as the “Wuhan coronavirus.”

But that hasn’t stopped both establishment media sources and the Chinese regime from now declaring the terms to be out-of-bounds.

Never mind that Chinese is not a race.

The left wing media took its clues from their Chinese masters:

The more of this crap you see the more one is tempted to think that the virus was an intentional thing.

This video, from back when the NY Times succumbed to the pressure, explains how China browbeat the world media.

And it just keeps getting worse. China is now citing the democrat-controlled media

If the Chinese Communist Party cites you favorably in one of its propaganda videos, it might be time to take a step back.

Democrats and members of the U.S. news media should be reconsidering their remarks defending and praising China amid the COVID-19 pandemic, especially now that those remarks are being highlighted by China’s aggressive and sophisticated propaganda machine.

The Global Times, a state-run Chinese tabloid, released a video recently highlighting various U.S. media personalities and Democratic leaders, who have pushed the Beijing-approved talking point that it is racist to refer to the virus by its country or city of origin.

The video features CNN's Chris Cuomo and NBC News’s Richard Engel. The Chinese-produced propaganda also cites failed two-time presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Engel said earlier this month in one of the dumber soliloquies ever to grace television screens, “It is easy to scapegoat people, and that is what has always happened when there have been pandemics or epidemics. This is a virus that came from the territory of China but came from bats. This is a bat virus, not a China virus."

The CCP loves HIllary and DeBlasio
The Chinese propaganda video also features Clinton’s tweet wherein she wrote, “The president is turning to racist rhetoric to distract from his failures to take the coronavirus seriously early on, make tests widely available, and adequately prepare the country for a period of crisis."

She adds, "Don't fall for it. Don't let your friends and family fall for it.”

De Blasio is cited in the video saying on social media, in remarks directed at President Trump, “If you’re looking for someone to pin this crisis on, try the guy who made up a phony Google website or promised testing kits that he STILL hasn’t delivered. Our Asian-American communities — people YOU serve — are already suffering. They don’t need you fueling more bigotry.”

And Chris Cillizza

As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.

Given that PDJT has exposed long-established bad trade deals by his Democratic and RINO elite predecessors, please consider the following disturbing possibility.

Consider that Democratic political descendants of the Southern States have possibly been trying to effectively reverse the outcome of the Civil War by making US citizens involuntary servants of Democrats and their foreign socialist-elite friends through rigged trade deals.

And if such is the case then Democrats have arguably been violating the involuntary servitude part of the 13th Amendment by doing so.

"13th Amendment:
Section 1: Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction [emphasis added].

Section 2: Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping COVID-19 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.

MAGA, also KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)
