Commies Gotta Commie
As we discussed in last Wednesday’s Briefing,
the already awful American mainstream media has managed to become even
more irresponsible since the coronavirus took center stage in America’s
collective stay-at-home consciousness. Every day, they find new ways to
reinforce the “Enemy of People” status that they have been earning every
day in the Trump era.
They’ve
routinely scolded anyone who accurately refers to the virus as being of
Chinese origin, screaming “RACISM!” as if they were getting paid each
time they uttered or typed the word.
What
has been most insidious has been the parroting of whatever China
reports about the virus. Almost everyone in American media has been
acting as ChiCom public relations lackeys, taking everything that the
Chinese government says and passing it along without questioning any of
it.
Victoria wrote yesterday
about a new report that confirms what sane people have known all along:
the Chinese commies were lying along. They were lying about the total
number of coronavirus cases and they were lying about the total number
of deaths. This obviously would have had an impact on the response of
other nations.
Stephen Green and I did a live
chat for our VIP Gold members yesterday and we were asked what we
thought about retaliation against China after all of this. The one thing
that I’ve been saying privately for a few weeks is that I hope we
emerge from all of this with the clear realization that our relationship
with China has to change. We can no longer cozy up to them because they
play that weird, hybrid capitalist/communist game of theirs.
China
is still a totalitarian communist monster and should be viewed as a
threat to the United States, not an exotic business partner. The U.S.
military has long viewed it as such, it’s time for the rest of us to get
on board.
A healthy distrust of any kind of relationship with China should be the bare minimum takeaway from all of this.
A
healthy distrust of any American media types who carry water for the
ChiComs would be the perfect place for all of that to begin.
