Jeff Bezos Rips President Trump over ‘Dangerous’ Attacks on the Washington Post
Amazon Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos is taking aim at President Donald Trump’s castigation of the Washington Post and liberal media as a whole, describing his criticism as “dangerous.” Appearing before the Economic Club of Washington on Thursday evening, Bezos warned elected officials that criticizing reporters is an afront to an “essential component of our democracy.”“What the president should say is, ‘This is right. This is good. I am glad I am getting scrutinized,'” Bezos told attendees. “But it’s really dangerous to demonize the media. It’s dangerous to call the media lowlifes. It’s dangerous to say they’re the ‘enemy of the people.'” Bezos, who acquired the Washington Post for $250 million in 2013, vowed to defend the paper’s coverage from President Trump’s criticisms, suggesting its reporting on the administration … [Read more...] about Jeff Bezos Rips President Trump over ‘Dangerous’ Attacks on the Washington Post
Virgil: The Washington Post, and Axios, Follow in the Footsteps of Breitbart News
The headline in Axios on August 8 demanded attention: “Sputnik moment for U.S. military.” For his part, Virgil paid particularly close attention, since he published a piece with virtually the same headline, for Breitbart News, back on September 16, 2017: “The Threat from China — America’s New ‘Sputnik Moment.’” Sputnik, of course, was the satellite put into orbit by the Soviet Union back in 1957. In launching their satellite, the Russians beat the Americans into space, thus causing a crisis of confidence in the U.S. How could Uncle Sam, supposedly the world’s leader, get one-upped by the Russian Bear? That is, one-upped in an extraordinarily important cluster of technologies, namely, rocketry, navigation, and space flight? If the Soviets were ahead of us in space, what did that say about our leadership position in the world, to say nothing of our national security?As we know, the U.S. surmounted the … [Read more...] about Virgil: The Washington Post, and Axios, Follow in the Footsteps of Breitbart News
Donald Trump ‘Very Happy’ with North Korea Progress; Not the Washington Post
President Donald Trump dismissed reports he was privately frustrated with North Korea’s slow progress on denuclearization, insisting he was “very happy.” “A Rocket has not been launched by North Korea in 9 months. Likewise, no Nuclear Tests,” Trump wrote, noting that Japan and Asia were pleased with the results of his summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.Trump commented on the issue after the Washington Post reported the president was “frustrated” with the lack of progress, and “fumed at his aides in private” citing “a half-dozen White House Aides, State Department officials and diplomats” who spoke anonymously. Trump decried the report as “fake news.” “[T]he Fake News is saying, without ever asking me (always anonymous sources), that I am angry because it is not going fast enough,” he wrote. “Wrong, very happy!” Trump again criticized the Washington Post and it’s ties … [Read more...] about Donald Trump ‘Very Happy’ with North Korea Progress; Not the Washington Post
