Vivek Ramaswamy certainly seems to have a talent in knowing how to deal with media. We've seen this now on multiple occasions where he has taken apart reporters who try to take him out but find the tables being turned on them. The most recent examples of this were when he decimated NBC's Dasha Burns as well as a WaPo reporter on questions about racism and white supremacy.

But the questions he asked the media on Wednesday were truly something else. He was talking with two state reps, and one of them wanted to know if there was any of the national media who believed they were wrong.
Vivek said that was a great question, and then he asked the assembled media in front of him some things I think we would all like to know from them.
🚨 WOW 🚨
Vivek FLIPS script on Reporters, leaving media STUNNED by simply asking:
- 'Did you lie about Trump-Russia collusion?'
[SILENCE]
- 'Is Hunter Biden's laptop Russian disinformation?'
[SILENCE]
- 'Did COVID leak from the Wuhan lab?'
[SILENCE]

"Who here is willing to admit that the Trump-Russia collusion hoax was inaccurately reported by the mainstream media?" he asked of the reporters.
There didn't seem to be any takers to acknowledge that basic truth. They frankly seemed stunned that he would even ask them such a thing. One reporter offered it "wouldn't be really appropriate for answer a question like that."
"Why not?" Vivek asked. "What's inappropriate is lying to the public."
Vivek then went on to say he thought that the public was lied to long after it became known about the Clinton involvement in the Steele dossier.
He then went on to give another example that he thought might be easier for them.
"Does anyone believe the media's reporting about the origin of COVID-19?"
He asked for a show of hands whether anyone believed that the Wuhan lab was the likely source. The state reps raised their hands. None of the media did.
He then asked what I think should have been the simplest one, even if they were frightened to admit the prior ones: Does anyone believe the Hunter Biden laptop story, as reported by the New York Post, was accurately reported and not Russian disinformation? He recalled how the story had been suppressed on Twitter by locking the account of the NY Post as well as the accounts of the people who shared the story. That should be easy, right?
Multiple mainstream media outlets have admitted the laptop was real now.
But still, it looked like no hands went up. Vivek even mentioned a reporter from an outlet that had reported on the laptop, but it wasn't clear if that reporter acknowledged it.
One reporter asked about Rudy Giuliani being sued in relation to the laptop as though that somehow put the laptop in question and she asked why Vivek was asking about this now.
Vivek explained that it was election interference, and that he thought that there was the "same kind of election interference" going on now too. He argued you have to deal with the mistakes of the past or you're going to be dealing with the same thing in the future. He said he didn't want to see that happen again, and that the suppression of those things and the suppression of speech in regard to things like COVID-19 was a big problem.
"That history is relevant to what's happening today," he declared.
You can see that they never expected to be questioned like that — how dare anyone question them?! And then, with just a few things the one female reporter said, you could see how ignorant she was and how that revealed her skewed thoughts. Likely, their political leanings enter into why none of them will admit there are problems here.
And it's concerning — when they're the media who have the supposed job of ferreting out the truth and presenting facts to us — that they don't seem to know the facts or seem to be interested in the truth.

Go Vivek!
I’m not going to vote for Vivek R, but i may send him money for support.
And they thought Trump was a handful.......
I don’t like this guy’s positions on many issues, but I do respect him for his tenacity and forthrightness.
🤠👍🏻
🤠👍🏻
You will if he is Trump's running mate.
Because they are lying leftist political hacks.
He’s wasting his time talking to those vegetables.
I would LOVE to see Vivek as the press secretary OMG that would be must watch TV!!!
Spot on right there. Same with deposits or hearing from any politician of any party. Discourse in America is broken by a corrupt and complicit media.
(Deposition)
Vivek is the man.
Vivek doesn’t need money. And maybe not your vote. But he needs to have some responsible position in the next Republican president’s administration. I can see him as Press Secretary, someone else mentioned the Secretary of State
Yes
Most Americans lack the intellectual ability to evaluate correctly the issues confronting the social landscape. Fault that to our derelict media whose journalist come from universities promoting faulty ideology and thinking on the level of a monkey. From our bastions for learning we get D.I.E., Cultural Racism, Cultural Marxism, Antisemitism, Critical Race Theory, Identity Politics, Woke-ism, and Gender Affirmation. Because of this, we as a society get our information from sources less likely to be reliable.
Because of our undermined media, how does the average person evaluate what I call the cultural cancers on the social landscape? If you try, you are judged to be too judgmental. The irony is what you get from numb sculls.

>when they’re the media who have the supposed job of ferreting out the truth and presenting facts to us
The media’s job has been disseminating Leftist/Dem propaganda at least since Walter Duranty and his non-reporting on the Holodomor. Continue with Walter Cronkite on Vietnam, Dan Rather and his lies about George W. Bush’s military service, etc.
These were not anomolies.
The presentation wasn't for them.
His questions were to expose them to everyone else.
