who is in charge at the white house
that's what some people say they want to
know after president biden cut off
questions from reporters yesterday
watch do you have any preconditions
before meeting with vladimir putin
i'll discuss that all another day thank
you what did you ask my
president will you
make it faster to get for them to get
the vaccine the vaccines we will get
soon
in india they're suffering what do you
say to the folks
i'm sorry i'm gonna just last question
i'll take and i that i'm really gonna be
in trouble
one person tweeted who will biden get in
trouble with
for taking basic press questions he's
the president
exclamation point joining me now media
and politics columnist for the hill and
fox news contributor joe koncha
joe why cut off the questions from the
press there
it's interesting i've seen some excuses
going around social media from some blue
checks saying that well
he's basically echoing what ronald
reagan used to say in terms of aids
wanting him to get back to work right
away
the problem is if you look at the
president's schedule yesterday this was
the last
item at least in terms of public events
on his schedule at one something in the
afternoon but as we've seen harris
the leader of the free world has trouble
when he has to speak extemporaneously
outside of scripted remarks and his only
press conference
when he did have to speak
extemporaneously and that press
conference
was largely a joke in terms of the
questions asked not all but many
look those statements that he made then
were littered with misstatements
outright lies particularly when it came
to the border his handlers know this and
i think what we're going to see going
forward for the next three and a half
years is the most
risk adverse the most scripted and the
least transparent presidency
of the modern tv era so
i boiled that down to who's he going to
be in trouble with himself
if he makes a mistake is basically what
you're saying there he's rapping himself
another role for hunter biden the
president's son will be a guest speaker
during a course on fake news at tulane
university this fall
the course is called media polarization
and public policy impacts
it's not clear exactly what
qualifications hunter biden
has on the topic outside of the of
course big tech censoring the new york
post story
uh about all the coverage on his laptop
so
we've gone from hunter biden doing
what he did previously to hunter biden
as a media expert
really yeah experience apparently isn't
a thing with hunter biden he could get
all these jobs
for instance in ukraine he got a job
with an energy company despite never you
know
working in energy his main qualification
was that he wrote amtrak a lot therefore
he's perfect for the 80 000 a month job
and
look hunter biden teaching of course on
fake news it's a lot like jack kevorkian
teaching a course in the heimlich
maneuver or richard dahmer
giving a ted talk on the keto diet there
is a certain irony to all this when you
consider
that he is still blaming russian
disinformation
for what was on his laptop because no
one's denying the contents
in those emails particularly people that
were cc'd on them
and this is now the state of our
education system where i guess i now
have to scratch off
tulane as far as any school that my
kid's ever gonna go to if i have to
attend professor hunter biden's class on
fake news and i'm not signing up for
that one anytime soon i think they're
going to rutgers we're going to stay in
state
all right well i'll be curious to say
what he has about the profession that we
do
uh media news what will hunter biden
come up with and you know what speaking
of media
apparently stacey abrams wants to start
as an editor
usa today is facing intense backlash for
allowing the georgia democrat stacey
abrams to retroactively make some
changes
to her march 31st op-ed the edits
water down her support for boycotts
remember major league baseball pulled
its all-star game out of atlanta days
after the original piece ran
the revision even adds a line strongly
urging against boycotts
that wasn't there before governor brian
kemp tweeted this
can't say i'm surprised the left spends
weeks spreading lies and promoting
boycotts
and their pals in the national media
cover their tracks
joe well let's explain how this works
harris shall we so
with news stories you could update them
because there may be new information
that comes to light that you therefore
have to add to the story you add what
called an editor's note preferably at
the top of the page or the bottom of the
stage and you could update news stories
however this is an op-ed it's an opinion
it doesn't need any revisions
or updates or modifications or in this
case remove
removal of some very key parts to it
particularly those
that seem to support boycotts boycotts
in cobb county georgia that is now
costing businesses there
a majority of them owned by at least the
population is a majority black
100 million dollars while major league
baseball takes its major league
all-star game to colorado so this is
again the media covering for stacey
abrams whose claim to fame is losing the
2018 gubernatorial
election to brian kemp by 55 000 votes
then saying that the election was stolen
for
from her and that there was voter
suppression that changed somehow
55 000 votes the people the editors that
were involved in this
if there was any accountability in this
business there really isn't any
accountability it seems anymore
uh should take a permanent vacation
because this is a fireable offense but
of course
we're never going to see that because
that just doesn't happen anymore it's
not a thing harris
wow joe koncha always great to have you
on the program
thank you great to see yours take care
