Though their candidate supposedly won the presidential election and they’ve declared him “president-elect,” the hate-Trump media haven’t let up on Trump or the Republican Party.
Now, they tell us, Trump’s administration was akin to Hitler’s Germany, and we’d have been better off had Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell died in place of Jeopardy host Alex Trebek.
In other words, we can expect the next four years to be a long post-mortem on Trump, with little serious reporting on Biden, just as the campaign has been a long attack on Trump, with little serious reporting on Biden.
Anti-Christian Amanpour
As with most leftist and neoconservatives, equating an enemy with Hitler is the go-to analogy.
And Amanpour, an anti-Christian Iranian leftist born to a Catholic mother in Britain, declared that the United States under President Trump has been a Nazi dicatorship.
“This week 82 years ago, Kristallnacht happened,” she began:
It was the Nazis’ warning shot across the bow of our human civilization that led to genocide against a whole identity and, in that tower of burning books, it led to an attack on fact, knowledge, history and proof. After four years of a modern-day assault on those same values by Donald Trump, the Biden-Harris team pledges a return to normal.
Kristallnacht, the Night of the Broken Glass, is the name given to widespread ransacking of Jewish homes, business, and institutions by Nazi paramilitary units.
Which means Amanpour’s remarks weren’t just wrong; they were deranged.
“While Christiane Amanpour enjoys her elite London life and casually throws around Nazi analogies to Donald Trump and his administration, more Jews, Hispanics, Black Americans, LGBT Americans voted for Trump in 2020 than 2016 and for a GOP candidate for president for decades,” media critic Steve Krakauer tweeted.
Maybe, but even if those minorities had voted for Amanpour’s candidate, her remarks still would have been deranged.
Yet they are also not surprising. When she covered the Serb-Bosnian conflict in which the United States unwisely enmeshed itself in the 1990s, Amanpour sided with the Muslims. And she falsely accused Serbs of a terror bombing that was, in fact, the work of Bosnian Muslims.
She’s been something of propagandist for Palestinian Muslim terrorists.
Why Trebek, not McConnell?
Yet globe-trotting media big wigs such as Amanpour aren’t alone. Pro-Biden operatives are top hands in local media, too.
Fox affiliate WITI-TV in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, removed anchorman Ted Perry from the air because he posted a Facebook wish that McConnell were dead:
“2020 takes Alex Trebek, but leaves Mitch McConnell,” the wiseacre wrote. “Just end already.”
Trebek died of pancreatic cancer last week, and wouldn’t likely have thought the joke funny or appreciated it.
Perry deleted the tweet and apologized after he was caught, likely knowing he might lose his job.
“I made a statement on my personal Facebook page that was insensitive and does not reflect my journalist values and I was not speaking on my behalf of my employer,” he wrote. “I deeply apologize for my inappropriate and outrageous comment and have deleted them accordingly.”
That said, Perry was the one who did “leave already.” Station officials kept him off the air all last week after the post, and “it is not yet clear if he will return on Monday,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. Perry hosts the station’s newscasts at 5 p.m. and 10 p.m., so we won’t know for a few hours whether he still has a job.
If he returns, expect an on-air apology.
Other Comments
The question is why Perry was even speaking on behalf of himself. Journalists, we’ve always been told, must be neutral and keep their politics to themselves. They jettisoned that rule when Trump won the GOP nomination in 2016.
Other recent comments about Trump or Republicans are just as bad.
After Trump’s campaign rally in Henderson, Nevada, leftist commentator Carl Bernstein, the Watergate has-been and Red Diaper baby, called Trump “homicidal.” A doctor accused him of “negligent homicide.”
What these same left-wing media big shots think of the Biden Mafia’s connections with corruption in Ukraine or business with Red China we are not given to know,
