Tim Graham: Reporters Are Repeaters as Biden Milks MLK Day

Many years ago, radical leftists charged reporters with being “journalists”. “stenographers to power,” In the modern age, elite reporters are only stenographers for one party, regardless of whether they’re in power. Look at the coverage of President Joe Biden’s speech for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Aamer Madhani, an Associated White House reporter from Atlanta, was the headline “Biden: Americans should ‘pay attention’ to MLK’s legacy.”

Madhani began: “President Joe Biden made a historical pilgrimage Sunday to ‘America’s freedom church’ to mark Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, saying democracy was at a perilous moment and that the civil rights leader’s life and legacy ‘show us the way and we should pay attention.'”

This is a press release copy from the White House. Biden’s speech is quoted in seven paragraphs. Sen. Raphael Warnock is the only other person who was quoted. “noted that the president was ‘a devout Catholic’ for whom ‘this Baptist service might be a little bit rambunctious and animated. But I saw him over there clapping his hands.'”

To describe Biden as a “devout Catholic” His record on social issues is not to be ignored. The president’s Monday speech at Washington, D.C. on Monday for the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network promoted the enshrining “marriage equality” “protecting a woman’s right to choose.” It’s the complete opposite of “devout Catholic.”

The headline was on Monday’s USA Today front page. “In pulpit of MLK’s church, Biden preaches promise.” Francesca Chambers was the gusher.

“President Joe Biden took his battle for the soul of the nation on Sunday morning to the pulpit of the historic Atlanta church that Martin Luther King Jr once led,” The Gannett stenographer started. She continued with the details about Biden’s life. “redeem” America’s soul and other phrases created by Jon Meacham, a Biden speechwriter.

The nation needed to be saved from its own soul. “those who traffic in racism, extremism and insurrection.” It is possible that Biden is talking about Republicans. This is what pro-Biden reporters hear… and most likely enjoy.

Biden’s speech, which was quoted in four paragraphs, was summarised in others. Chambers included quotes from Warnock and Donna Brazile, Democrat advisers, and Melanie Campbell, leftist activist, before concluding with Keisha Lance Bottoms, White House adviser. In this POTUSpolish, there was no Republican reaction.

The speech was criticized by Republicans. The “RNC Research” Twitter account noted that Biden started: “I used to go to 7:30 mass every morning in high school and then in college, before I went to the Black church. Not a joke.” However, when Biden tried this line in 2020 the Washington Free Beacon discovered that congregants at a nearby black church said that they didn’t remember Biden ever attending.

Biden added to the church “where we’d organize to march to desegregate the city.” FoxNews.com’s Jessica Chasmar reported that Biden stated that in the ’60s, during his first presidential campaign, he had said this. “I was not an activist. I worked at an all-Black swimming pool in the east side of Wilmington, Delaware. I was involved in what they were thinking, in what they were feeling … But I was not out marching, I was not down in Selma, I was not anywhere else.”

Biden is the president and creates his own teenage dream story to impress black churchgoers. “too good to check” For reporters at AP, USA Today, and elsewhere. While the fake biography of George Santos seems shocking and brand-new, Biden’s 50 year history of biographical invention is a no-brainer for reporters. It doesn’t matter if Democrats celebrated MLK Day with a happy and warm celebration.
