AP 'Reporter' Lemire Blasts 'Deeply Cynical' Republicans, Praises 'Good-Faith' Dems
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/22/2021 7:43:02 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On Thursday's Morning Joe, AP White House reporter Jonathan Lemire addressed Nancy Pelosi's rejection of two Republican appointees to the January 6th committee, and Kevin McCarthy's announcement that unless Pelosi reversed course he would pull all Republican appointees. Predictably, Lemire put all the blame on Republicans while plumping for Pelosi and Democrats at large. How does this analysis sound any different than a Democratic member of Congress?

The time has come, and indeed is long since passed, for Jonathan Lemire to have the integrity and decency to quit the Associated Press. His gig as a blatantly partisan, liberal "analyst" on MSNBC, is fundamentally incompatible with his role as a White House "reporter" for the AP.

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Does Lemire expect us to believe that in his MSNBC “analyst” role he can sound like Joe Scarborough on a particularly dyspeptic day, but then turn around and put his “objective” hat on when “reporting” for the AP?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

The MSM by and large is a propaganda arm of the Democrat party. Nothing less. Joseph Goebbels would be proud of their efforts.

One has to go to alternative sources for real journalism, and those are swiftly being suppressed by the government allied with big tech.

These people are completely irrelevant now. They don’t control any meaningful narratives - not when the US is a global embarrassment with a dementia patient as its public face. I’ll be shocked if half the lame-stream media is still employed 5 years from now.

“despite Democrats going into it seemingly with a good-faith effort, a bipartisan attempt”

What IQ do you need to be able to turn on a TV?

Scumbags like this can ESAD. He and his ilk are enablers, if not completely in bed with those who wish to destroy this country.

Lemire is obviously a fool... or too stupid to know what "journalistic ethics" means... "If you're screwing the elephants, you can't cover the circus"...
