NY Times’ Maureen Dowd says Biden campaign aide pressed her to scrub ‘goodest’ gaffe
NY Post ^ | 07/08/2024 | Ariel Zilber

New York Times op-ed columnist Maureen Dowd said a campaign aide working to help re-elect President Joe Biden asked her to scrub a verbal gaffe from one of his recent media appearances.

In her column in the op-ed section of Sunday’s Times, Dowd wrote that TJ Ducklo, a spokesperson for the Biden campaign, emailed her after she published a commentary on Saturday that included reference to the word “goodest.”

Biden appeared to utter the non-word during his interview on Friday with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, but the network later revised the transcript to reflect that the president actually said “good as.”

Disney-owned ABC News altered the initial transcript at the behest of the White House, according to The New York Times. The Gray Lady also revised the Biden quote “to conform with the updated ABC transcript.”

This has been going on for years covering for the Democrats. On Republicans they just make it up as they see fit.

You’d think she’d be the last to abandon Biden. Very interesting.

AABC News should be banned from the press pool under the next administration. Any other news agency found to be aiding in the Trojan Horse exercise should be, too.

Check Joe Biden’s popularity when this happens. It’s 3:30 am somewhere in a deep missile defense bunker in Utah.

Joe: What does this button do?

Staff member: It raises the flag.

Joe: And this other button, what does it do?

Staff member: It starts WWIII with nuclear missiles coming out of the ground.

Joe: So I can press the flag button now?

Staff member: Yup. Anytime you’re ready.

CLICK!

BEEP BEEP BEEP...(((alert))) (((alert))) (((warning))) (((warning))) (((missiles firing))) (((missiles firing)))

President Trump should just deep six the Washington press core and do interviews only with those that he wishes to talk to.

I’d go for banning all of ABCNNBCBS ... open the press pool only to local newspapers, local TV stations, and independent internet journalists from around the country.

A bunch of bloggers, regardless of how much they might be hated by some folks around here, would be a grand improvement over the incestuous corps of communists from Big Media.

Dowd is just another MSM propaganda agent who will obediently follow the party line. I’ve never understood why she’s held in such esteem when she only does the party’s bidding.

The communist media covered up EVERYTHING for power..if Biden had had a good debate NO ONE would EVER be hearing a peep about any of this, ever..they are just afraid of losing power..not that they have a dementia riddled parkinsons disease patient in the white house..but that they might lose power
