Why Does This Reporter Hate Journalism, Now That Biden Is the Subject?

December 14th, 2020 7:27 AM

Fox News media reporter Joe Wulfsohn exposed how April Ryan -- CNN political analyst and White House reporter for American Urban Radio Networks -- thinks journalism isn't something that should be applied to Democrats. 

"I asked an incoming White House source was the meeting contentious with civil rights leader and @JoeBiden and the answer was 'no'. A rights leader at the meeting says @JoeBiden was passionate," Ryan tweeted on Thursday. "The question is who taped this meeting and why? What is the agenda?"

Since when do reporters object to recordings of White House meetings? This is on the subject of black issues. One would think Ryan would want more exposure for what was said, not less. But she's been deeply invested in the future of Kamala Harris, so maybe she's just being a protective Democrat, like many at CNN.

Edward Ongweso Jr. of Vice News, whose Twitter name is @bigblackjacobin and describes his personality in his Twitter bio as “like a terrorist attacking an innocent family," with his location being the "sovereign state of have-nots," satirized Ryan's DNC routine from the far left:

"It is irresponsible and sets a dangerous precedent for journalists covering the incoming administration to be able to use secretly recorded conversations in their stories," Ongweso Jr. tweeted. "To parse out Biden's thoughts and anticipate his policy commitments, you must go through proper channels."

Ongweso Jr. continued sarcastically, "The White House Press Secretary, the spokespeople for the President and Vice President, senior officials (without attribution), and the President's public statements are all designated and responsible sources for information about the President's thoughts and intentions."

"Revealing a contradiction between Biden’s private thoughts and public statements is dangerous because it erodes public trust in the President, the Office, and the media itself," the Vice reporter concluded. 

Sadly for April, she couldn't detect an ounce of insincerity in this thread. "You hit the nail in the head! This is not good at all," Ryan tweeted in reply to the first tweet. She then "liked" the other two tweets in the thread.

Wulfsohn noted earlier in the day, Ryan whooped about Susan Rice's appointment as Biden's domestic policy adviser, exclaiming "Tuning into the Wilmington event today! Domestic Policy Advisor with a new twist! This is going change the game of that position with your extensive background!"

He also noted that back in August, when CNN planned to air secretly recorded phone conversations of First Lady Melania Trump, Ryan tweeted "So who is eagerly waiting to hear these audio tapes of Melania Trump talking about bad about [sic] @realDonaldTrump @IvankaTrump & the rest of his adult children? I’m ready!"
