Reporters Lash Out After White House Plays ‘Edelweiss’
Daily Caller ^ | 04/18/2019 | Mary Margaret Olohan

Reporters set Twitter abuzz when New York Times White House Correspondent Maggie Haberman noted that the White House was playing the song “Edelweiss,” suggesting there was significance to the song that the White House did not understand.

Does…anyone at that White House understand the significance of that song? https://t.co/IK9h8fOwNj

— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) April 18, 2019

Users quickly commented that Haberman seemed to think Trump was playing a Nazi song in the White House. The song is from Richard Rodgers’ and Oscar Hammerstein’s “The Sound of Music” and is played by Captain von Trapp right before the family flees the Nazi occupation of Austria. The fact that the WH phayed a song from an anti-Nazi musical makes Trump a Nazi.

It's entirely appropriate that the Gray Hag, the Newspaper of Wretched, the New York Slimes, employs as their White House correspondent someone who is that ********* dumb. Thanks ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas.

It’s a beautiful song, and I loved the “Sound of Music.” Democrats are insane.

Mass suicides probably taking place right now sadly.

Trump anxiety disorder is a serious condition, make sure to contact local law enforcement to have welfare checks done on your friends that are leftists who might be considering suicide as a way out.

The playing of “Edelweiss” was absolutely brilliant! The lyrics:

Edelweiss, edelweiss
Ev’ry morning you greet me
Small and white
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me

Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

The Captain, Maria, and Children:

Small and white
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me

Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

HOWEVER, they probably HAVE seen the “The Man in the High Castle” Netflix series in which Edelweiss is the theme music in the creepy opening

Bingo. You nailed it. These reporters have a knowledge base 1” deep and not extending beyond last year.

"Is it even possible for a reporter to be embarrassed these days?"

Apparently not.

Go back and watch the election night coverage. Every single commentator on every single legacy network displayed a level of galactic stupidity never before seen in the free world. These people have zero credibility. They aren't even right half the time. They are never right.

I don't know how any of them even have the gall to appear in public, let alone continue to opine on national television.

So, if a reporter isn't shamed by getting the facts wrong over and over, is he still a reporter? Or, is he a propagandist?

If all the legacy media are simply propaganda outlets, where does that lead?

It must be true. I saw it on TV. I think the Germans sang it while they bombed Pearl Harbor.

Very true. The ‘elites’ are not what they used to be.

They never were.

We watched Show Boat the other day again. Imagine the Outrage the Libtards would have if a movie like that were to be brought back.

wiki says:

In 2018, Haberman’s reporting on the Trump administration earned the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting (shared with colleagues at the Times and The Washington Post),[12] the individual Aldo Beckman Memorial Award from the White House Correspondents’ Association,[13] and the Front Page Award for Journalist of the Year from the Newswomen’s Club of New York.[14][15] Trump himself has repeatedly responded to negative articles in the Times by calling her a “Hillary flunky” and a “third rate reporter”.[16]
