CBS News (click here) correspondent Weijia Jiang, wearing a face mask, asks questions as President Trump participates in a press briefing Monday in the Rose Garden at the White House.
I don't watch this insulting moron anymore. Then I watch a news program and I see this. This is true for me when it comes to Twitter rants as well. The only time I actually know what Trump is compulsively tweeting is when the media brings it to a national level. So, why are the journalists losing their dignity to cover this mess?
There are ethical standards in the way journalists are treated when INVITED into a news conference. It is expected that the journalists will be granted esteem in asking questions and seeking answers that are purposely avoided. The journalists are not demanding ethical treatment.
Weijia Jiang was verbally abused and served up a racist comment that will translate into an ad whereby his racism is exonerated. See, it is the journalists that insist Trump is racist. The journalists are pawns in a very cruel game.
Editors and owners of the media represented by these journalists should be pursuing a better environment for their employees, one of respect and value. This mess has no value. Sue the lousy no good. He is treating professionals as menial help that have to BOW to the microphone in order to speak to his highness.
Trump has no respect for anyone that doesn't BOW to his whim and treat him as the all-knowing god of the USA government. Enough of this. He knows nothing. He is a showman and the press is seeking a meaningful relationship with the president and he is not capable of it.
Moral and ethical standards of the American Press is its cornerstone that provides the platform of which Americans count on.
Today Trump did the same thing to another male reporter that TOLD the journalist he should know everything there is to know about Obamagate. The questions regarding what exactly does Trump believe Obama did so wrong it is criminal were spot on. The journalist was forced to bow before the president in order to speak to the microphone. THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS TREATMENT OF OUR MEDIA PROFESSIONALS!
Then he states every other newsprint knew about Obamagate except the newspaper the journalist worked for. There is another ad moment. Another moment when Trump, poor Trump, had to put the media in it's place.
Trump has NOTHING OF VALUE TO SAY. Any reporting of him belongs in the comic strips.
Ever since he found out that he could end daily news briefings and move journalists to the lawn of the White House, he has not stopped his demeaning treatment that most Americans consider to be the fourth arm of the USA Constitution.
He is amused by the power he has that can make journalists practically stand on their heads in order to get a few words from him that are meaningful. He walked out of the same news conference whereby he verbally abused Weijia Jiang. Someone stated to me they believed Trump was unstable. That isn't why he walked out. He lost control of the microphone, the message and his authority to rule over every human being in front of him. The two women journalists stood up for their rights. They were not going to be mistreated and he lost control. They were right and he had to take back their moral content by walking out. IT WAS A LESSON FOR THE WOMEN TO LEARN! It was a lesson that all the journalists had to learn in order to have those precious moments of "Trump Words."
Stop it. Every professional should be demanding respect and their rights to being inside the Press Room. That is status. Status is part of a journalist's credentials and value. Trump wants to make journalists meaningless and valueless. Why put up with it? There is nothing he is saying worth printing. I got nothing from that reporting of his tirade. He provided nothing of value to the American people in his "Donald Trump Show."
