White House press corps: WTF???

I watched the White House press briefing today until my wife turned it off and told me to get outside until I calmed down. The snarling pack of mad dogs who call themselves the "White House press corps" questioned and questioned and questioned every single word uttered by Biden and his press secretary on the "Biden classified documents" affair.

Meanwhile, this is what Trump was spewing forth:

"The Special 'Prosecutor' assigned to the 'get Trump case,' Jack Smith(?), is a Trump Hating THUG whose wife is a serial and open Trump Hater, whose friends & other family members are even worse, and as a prosecutor in Europe, according to Ric Grenell, put a high government official in prison because he was a Trump positive person," Trump posted. "Smith is known as 'an unfair Savage,' & is best friends with the craziest Trump haters, including Lisa Monaco who runs 'Injustice.' The Boxes Scam is a HOAX."

"Fire a man who may very well turn out to be a criminal, Jack Smith," Trump said. "His conflicts, unfairness, and mental state of derangement make him totally unfit for the job of 'getting Trump.' Go after Biden and the Biden Crime Family instead. Like Bill Barr, the U.S. Attorneys in Delaware and Illinois are weak, ineffective, and afraid to do what must be done. The Election was RIGGED, and we are now losing our Country. We can’t let that happen. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

"The prosecutor should resign, he's got a conflict," Trump complained. "He is a terrorist. He is a Trump hater. His best friends are [former Mueller prosecutor Andrew] Weissmann and all of these characters, Lisa Monaco at the Justice Department, one of the top officials. This is a disgraceful situation. He should resign!"



And what has the "mainstream media" -- including the WH press corps -- said about Trump's vile spew? NOT ONE GODDAM WORD. NOT ONE.

((I thank myself, for brilliantly not watching daytime TV, and selectively watching real news.))

My wife and I stopped watching TV years ago. Your experience is one reason why we don't have the Cyclops on. Read and listen to music. The Internet has enough news sources to replace the American Mainstream Media.
