By “they”, I mean the media. But, how do trust someone who will not do their job? Or, at best do it well at times, only to deliberately refuse to do it at others? That will not garner anyone much respect.
Consider, as a prime example, the recent murder of a reporter in Las Vegas, Jeff German. German was stabbed to death, and a man, Robert Telles has been arrested. German had exposed allegations against Telles. That man, Robert Telles, is a Clark County Public Administrator. He is also a Democrat. Why does his party affiliation matter? Ask the national media, who always seem to identify Republicans by their party. Telles, has been identified as a “local politician”. Which would be OK if that were done for members of both parties. But, as The Other McCain notes.
ABC’s “Good Morning America” introduced Telles as a “local politician” and later described him as a “Las Vegas county official.”
“CBS Mornings” co-host Tony Dokoupil teased about the “elected official” who was swept up in the murder investigation.
CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann went on to describe Clark County’s public administrator as “a man named Robert Telles” and said police executed a search warrant “at the elected official’s home.” . . .
Similarly, NBC News correspondent Erin McLaughlin referred to Telles as simply a “local government official” who “lost a primary race in June” during an on-air report on “Today.” . . .
On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Willie Geist reported on the “public official” and how police “arrested a man named Robert Telles.”
Now, if you believe such treatment would be afforded a Republican politician, I have some great ocean front property in New Mexico. But, the media not only ignored Telles being a Democrat, they even found a way to bash Trump according to the Federalist
A reporter present at a local press briefing with Las Vegas Sheriff Joe Lombardo Thursday sought to indict Trump for the crime.
“Sheriff, you said the murder of a journalist is especially troubling. Now is probably not the time to talk politics,” the unnamed female reporter began.
“So why are we talking politics?” Lombardo interrupted.
The reporter continued with her political question.
“Do you condemn former President Trump’s normalization of violence against journalists?” she asked.
“No, I think this [is] probably inappropriate to speculate on that or opine on that,” Lombardo said. “It needs to be stated and noted that it is troublesome because it is a journalist… When people take it upon themselves to create harm associated with that profession, I think it’s very important that we put all eyes on and address the case appropriately.”
See, there was no reason to accuse Trump of “normalizing violence”, a frankly asinine accusation. Media bias anyone?
