In exchange, we Report Earlier today, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki performed poorly because Peter Doocy of Fox asked her a question that touched the core of the problem.
Doocy asked about Psaki’s comments the day before that there were 12 people/accounts on Facebook responsible for spreading “most of the misinformation” about the Wuhan coronavirus on Facebook.
Doocy: “Speaking of misinformation and yesterday’s announcement, how long has the government been monitoring people’s Facebook profiles for vaccine misinformation?”
Psaki: “Well, this is a rather complicated and inaccurate question, I will refute…”
Dusi: “Why is it not accurate?”
Psaki: “Well, Peter, first of all, as you know, we are often in contact with a series of media [Doocy says something intelligible in the background] Because we often keep in touch with social media platforms. This is public information, and people share information online. It’s like you are reporting information on the news channel. “
Doocy: “But-well, so you have these 12 people, 12 people on the list. Do they know someone in the surgeon’s office is viewing their profile?”
Psaki scoffed at Doocy’s wording, saying that they did not keep a secret list.
Now you may not think that the government’s attempt to use Facebook to censor people might alarm the liberal media. But if you think so, then you have not kept up. CNN’s Jake Tapper defended Jen Psaki, describing Peter Doocy’s problem as “preconditioning on lies” and attacking Fox as saying that it was not true. Imagine that when CNN spreads lies and misstatements in this way, they think they are not qualified to comment on any other networks at all.
Tapping machine Buzzing:
At the same briefing, many people from Fox said that the vaccine was not true, and raised a question based on a lie that the White House is browsing people’s Facebook pages and privately providing information on this list. This is not true. However, once again we see another example of lies entering the airwaves. But, once again, Fox correspondents have every right to lie or be misunderstood in this matter.
In fact, Dusi said otherwise. So Tapper didn’t tell the truth. once again. But this is part of the problem for people like Tapper. Bad reporter. Doocy did not say that they made the list by combing through Facebook personal data; he just asked how long they had been checking their personal data for misinformation? But this is rotated by Tapper. Because no matter what the wording, no matter how they get the list, Jen Psaki She herself admitted that they were looking at these 12 people And chasing people. So this complaint about the wording does not change this fact. This is the bigger problem. This should arouse media attention. However, it did not.
Another very problematic thing is that the White House has now emphasized these 12 people/accounts and basically accused them of causing people to die. This is the goal for these people in a dangerous political environment of hype. How long does it take for a “reporter” like Tapper to know the identities of these 12 people/accounts?
But this just shows that CNN and Jake Tapper have long since abandoned the topic of news or protection of speech. The irony is that they and the Biden team have always been the biggest disseminators of misinformation we might see.
