Last Night: Trump has Field day with the Lame Stream Media and sets out China Propagandist.....
Anyone watch the WH Coronavirus Briefing? Trump was on fire with the Lame Stream Media. Tore them up. He did such a great job that today the Laem Stream Media is playing victim.
The best part was Trump setting out a China Propagandist.
Trump Questioned a Reporter's Ties to the Chinese Government – and He's Definitely Onto Something.....
During Monday evening's White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing, President Donald Trump questioned a reporter about whether or not she works for a Chinese-run television network. The questioning was prompted when the reporter asked about the Chinese government and companies, like Huawei and Alibaba, donating medical supplies and personal protective equipment to the United States.
"Who are you working for, China?" Trump asked.
"Hong Kong Phoenix TV," the reporter replied.
"Who owns that, China?" Trump pressed. "Is it owned by China? Is it owned by the state?"
"No, it's not," she said. "It's a private-owned company."
As One America News Network's Liz Wheeler pointed out, Phoenix TV is technically "privately-owned" but their biggest investor is a state-owned mobile company.
Back in 2018, it was revealed that Phoenix TV was "identified by U.S. intelligence agencies as a major overseas outlet used to spread propaganda and promote the policies of the communist government in Beijing. The Hong Kong television station also has close ties to China's intelligence service and military," the
Washington Free Beacon reported at the time. "... Former Chinese insider and billionaire businessman Guo Wengui said Phoenix TV was established under Chinese leader Jiang Zemin in the early 1990s specifically as a government and intelligence tool for overseas influence operations."
The goal of the propaganda machine is to garner support for the regime's policies and downplay atrocities, like human rights abuses.
The Hoover Institution
dubbed Phoenix TV the "semi-official" Chinese media outlet in Hong Kong, the
Daily Caller reported. The pro-democracy think tank Freedom House revealed that a former Chinese military officer who is close to officials in Beijing owns the network.....snip~

While it is good that the Lame Stream Media got dumped on and that hidden amongst them was a Chinese Propagandist. It still leaves a problem. How did the Chinese mope get into the WH Presser. Whoever sets up these pressers needs to be looked at. Trump still needs to clean house and get the leftists out of his Administration. Someone isn't doing their job. This Chinese mope had no business getting close to a US President.
