Let us introduce you to Kelly O’Donnell. She describes herself in her The-Social-Media-Site-Formerly-Known-As Twitter profile as:
Senior White House Correspondent @NBCNews President of the White House Correspondents' Association @WHCA '23-'24.
And last night after someone shot Trump, she had this amazing exchange:
Kelly O'Donnell (@KellyO) ~ Late night duty here at the White House after the shooting incident at the Trump rally.
Oooh ... White House pictures at night! Shows she's SO intimately and powerfully connected, don'tcha think?!
Well, Melissa Mackenzie wasn't dutifully impressed ...
Melissa Mackenzie (@MelissaTweets) ~ {Replying to @KellyO} Assassination attempt. Seriously, what is wrong with you?
Kelly O'Donnell (@KellyO) ~ {Replying to @MelissaTweets} Our reporting guidelines require that we not use that term until law enforcement describes it as an assassination attempt if/when the investigation supports that designation. It is a measured approach for accuracy. There will be plenty of time to go further as needed.
You got that? She is president of an association of journalists and she believes that she can’t figure out if this was an assassination attempt. There were probably fifty cameras on Trump at the moment he was shot, but hey, maybe the shooter was just aiming for his ex-wife and Trump’s ear got in the way. *eye roll*
And worse yet, she will only call it an assassination attempt when big daddy government tells her it was one. You got that? The reality you can see with your own eyes is not reality until the government tells you it is, according to a person who claims with a straight face that she is a journalist.
That's because Kelly is a propagandist, not a journalist, and she doesn't lift a finger until her superiors in the DNC tell her when, where, and how to lift said finger.
Sunny (@sunnyright) ~ {Replying to @KellyO} The President of the White House Correspondents Association says she can’t use words in her reporting until the government says it’s okay to use those words.
“We’re not allowed to call things what they are until the government says we can” is a crazy admission to make publicly.
Yep ... Kelly is waiting to receive her official "words" ...
Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) ~ {Replying to @KellyO} There is no guideline that stops you from reporting what was clearly on video (and backed by dozens of on-the-record witnesses) just because the government hadn't used the magic words yet.
What a joke. Are you a news organization or stenographers? Don't answer that, we know.
SeaRaptor (@SeaRaptor) ~ {Replying to @KellyO} American media: "We cannot speak the truth unless it is first approved as such by government officials." Where's the ghost of Walter Cronkite to beat some sense into these clowns?
I'm not so sure that Walter Cronkite was that much better than these clowns to be honest.
Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) ~ {Replying to @KellyO} Can we see these reporting guidelines? Are they in a book or are you just kind of making things up, again, like when you said "we don't give the Biden WH questions ahead of time."
Julie Kelly (@julie_kelly2) ~ {Replying to @KellyO} LOL ... media waiting for okay from government to state the obvious.
Mollie (@MZHemingway) ~ {Replying to @KellyO} This is the worst week of your career.
Yeah, SO many revealing admissions from the so-called "journalists" of the DNC propaganda outlets, don'tcha know.
So far ... the worst week of her career, so far.
Physics Geek (@physicsgeek) ~ {Replying to @KellyO} You are a useless and pathetic oozing pustule on the ass of humanity, masquerading as a journalist. Maybe find a job better suited to your limited skill set. I hear the train station needs someone to lick clean the toilets.
Don’t hold back, tell us what you really think of her.
IT Guy (@ITGuy1959) ~ {Replying to @KellyO} “We wait until the government tells us what to say” sums up everything wrong with you cowardly apparatchiks. For once - just once - in your entire pathetic existence can’t you all just report on what everyone sees?
Ah, yes ... the American people simply CANNOT despise the mainstream media enough.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
