Don’t expect neutral reporting even on issues where President Joe Biden is pushing Americans into acute crises as majority of the White House reporters are diehard Democrats and they will hide most of the failures of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and other members of the Biden-Harris administration.
It isn’t hard to remember how abrasive the White House press corps was with President Trump, openly berating him, interrupting him, even calling him a liar, which eventually prompted him to call them the enemy. And now that Joe Biden is in office, he’s been slammed with hard-hitting questions like what is his favorite flavor ice cream.
According to a an exclusive report published in The Federalist research for a new book out next week reveals an implicit bias present throughout the White House press corps: Reporters attending in-person briefings rank 12:1 Democrat to Republican.
In “Suppression, Deception, Snobbery, and Bias: Why the Press Gets So Much Wrong―And Just Doesn’t Care,” Fox News Contributor and former Bush White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer unearths the political affiliations of those present at a White House briefing on June 7, 2021.
“Every seat was filled for the first time in over a year as the social distancing rules resulting from the COVID pandemic were relaxed”, Fleischer wrote in an excerpt shared exclusively with The Federalist. “By a ratio of 12:1, the seats were occupied by Democrats!”
Fleischer drew upon research solicited by the D.C.-based investigative firm Delve, which combed through publicly available data.
“I guess the good news is that the ratio wasn’t 24:0, like it was during my encounters with students at Columbia Journalism School. It was only 12:1”, Fleischer wrote. “No matter how you cut it, the White House briefing room does not look, sound, or register to vote like America”.
Towson University tenured Professor Richard Vatz, who specializes in political persuasion and rhetoric, told The Federalist that Fleischer’s discovery “echoes findings over many decades”.
“In major media survey after major media survey [1962-1996, journalists of ‘national media,’ ‘Washington Press Corps,’ etc., were found to be overwhelmingly liberal, and in poll after poll they voted for Democrats”, Vatz said.
Vatz cited a 1982 survey from the State University of California at Los Angeles which polled 1,000 journalists across 50 daily newspapers and found that only 25 percent of those interviewed voted for then-President Ronald Reagan.
More than a decade later, a 1995 joint study from the University of Colorado’s Media Studies Center and Cornell University’s Roper Center surveyed “Washington-based bureau chiefs and congressional correspondents” and found that 89 percent voted for Bill Clinton in 1992.
Only 7 percent reported voting for George H.W. Bush, and 2 percent for Ross Perot. Half identified as Democrats, and only 4 percent Republican.
The report explained the “partisan makeup” of the White House press “skews” the report that the nation hears.
“The effect on media coverage is that certain topics in major media do not even get covered if they rebound to Republican advantage, and when pro-conservative-interest topics do get covered, they are spun negatively”, Vatz said.
It continued, “Data from the American Presidency Project show Biden is one of the least accessible presidents in modern American history, having conducted only 16 total press conferences since taking office last year, including nine alone and seven as joint affairs”.
With such shocking revelation and heavy bias within the White House press corps, Americans are yet to know the size of Democrats owning or controlling tech giants – such as search engines and social media platforms. They don’t know, how every minute, diehard Democrats sitting in those important places are killing reports that expose failures, crimes, and corruption of the Democrats.
