Original title: US media expose: US news agencies cover up the scandal for Biden
Reference News Network reported on September 9 that the freedom lighthouse website in Washington published an article "news blockade: news agencies ignore Biden's unconventional calls with the president of Afghanistan" on September 2. The author is Andrew stiles. The full text is excerpted as follows:
American journalists like to flaunt themselves with beautiful slogans, such as "democracy dies in the dark", but they openly refuse to report President Biden's violation of the long-standing political conventions. If unchecked, it could jeopardize the foundations of our democracy.
Most of the major US media refused to report on Biden's flawed call with Afghan President Ghani on July 23. Reuters announced the call earlier this week. According to the call records, in order to "change" the "view" about the imminent takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban, Biden repeatedly pressed Ghani to "show a different situation" about the ongoing disaster in Afghanistan, whether it is true or not.
White House press secretary Jane pusaki repeatedly refused to comment on "private diplomatic conversations or leaked phone records". It seems to have been suggested from her that few news organizations are willing to report this unconventional call. During the call, Biden hinted that U.S. financial and military assistance may depend on Ghani holding a press conference. The United States is misleading the world about the current situation in Afghanistan. The contents of the call were disclosed by a source who asked not to be named.
Former US President trump was impeached for a similar incident involving the president of Ukraine, which was widely reported in the media. However, neither the New York Times (its slogan is "all news suitable for publication") nor the Washington Post (its slogan is "democracy dies in the dark") reported Biden's explosive call.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post published a "fact check" on the number of Americans and Afghan allies evacuated from Afghanistan. Almost every time, Glenn Kessler, the chief fact checker of the Washington Post, faithfully repeated the evacuation information provided by the Biden government. In other words, "fact checking" is no different from the White House press release, just as Jennifer Rubin's latest column "it's not the fault of the State Department" is no different from the White House press release.
News networks are also reluctant to report this impeachable call, so they are very eager to move from Afghanistan to another topic. For example, novel coronavirus pneumonia Jo Logan was diagnosed by CNN, and the fact of rain in New York was reported.
