Usually, Democrats celebrate if only even one ‘diversity’ check box is selected. Barack Obama was celebrated for being the first black President. The celebrations hit the next level when two ‘diversity’ checkboxes are selected, Kamala Harris and Ketanji Brown Jackson were celebrated for being female and black.
But this time, three checkboxes are selected, Jean-Pierre just happens to be female, black, and from the LGTBQ group.
It must be remembered that when the Democrats boast about inclusion
and diversity, their focus is solely on the attributes such as race, gender, and
sexual orientation, which is by virtue of birth. Never is any diversity of thoughts
and ideas tolerated. Total conformity is mandatory to join this club.
The appointment caused jubilation in the news media and in Washington. Every news report carried prefixed Jean-Pierre’s name with information about her race
and sexual orientation.
What receives scant mention is her education and her work.
She grew up in New York's Haitian working-class neighborhood. Her father was a taxi driver and her mother a healthcare worker. She obtained a B.S. from the New York Institute of Technology and her Master’s from Columbia University.
Her personal life had its share of challenges with her family initially not being accepting of her sexuality which caused her to attempt suicide.
Despite her struggles, she managed to work her way up the Democrat hierarchy. She has experience in far-left advocacy groups such as MoveOn.org and the ACLU and liberal media houses such as MSNBC and NBC.
She was a key political director in the Obama administration. Prior to joining the White House press team, she was chief of staff to Kamala Harris. Next week she becomes the White House, press secretary.
While she may be a hardcore Democrat operative who subscribes
to the groupthink if there is a positive message for minorities it is
that education and work experience is the sole way to upliftment.
The fact that the Democrats and the media chose to focus on her race and
sexual orientation but so much not her education and career shows you where the party
is today. They celebrate only those attributes that can be turned into victimhood to silence critics. Achievements and hard work come in a distant second place.
However, there is a major concern with Jean-Pierre's appointment, which few
in the media have focused on, obviously.
Most media of the media coverage celebrated Jean-Pierre's sexual orientation
there was scant mention of her domestic partner.
Why?
Because she happens to be prominent CNN reporter Suzanne
Malveaux.
A White House Press secretary in a long-term relationship with a prominent media personality is a blatant case of conflict of interest in both appearance and substance. It is blatantly unethical of the White House to offer Jean-Pierre the job and it was unethical of her to accept the position.
But ethics and morals have no place in the world of Democrats.
CNN’s record on such matters isn’t exactly stellar. Now-axed CNN host Chris Cuomo had his brother Andrew on his show quite regularly while they indulged in brotherly banter. Chris also covered his brother favorably. Nobody at CNN objected. It was eventually revealed that Chris was advising his brother and then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s on how to deal with his sex scandals while working at CNN.
With Jean-Pierre, the situation is likely to be similar
if not identical.
The reason Jean-Pierre's links with the media haven't been mentioned even in right-leaning media is that the Democrats - news media ties are now accepted as obvious.
In fact, it would be erroneous to regard the mainstream media
as an independent body that is influenced by the Democrats. The current mainstream
media should be thought of as a department or a wing within the Democrat
party.
This explains why the persons in the mainstream media have identical views, despite working in different outlets. It's not only the views but even the phraseology to describe occurrences that is often identical. Words such as ‘collusion’, ‘insurrection’, ‘post-truth’, and ‘alt-right’ weren’t just a coincidence. An adept wordsmith among the Democrats dictated these words and the media assiduously followed it.
The CNN-Cuomo scandal was merely the norm. The reason action was taken is that their display was brazen and the Democrat leadership wanted Andrew Cuomo out.
The corruption and malpractice in the media are so widespread the link
between Jean-Pierre and CNN reporter Suzanne Malveaux may not even matter.
Will Malveaux leak information to Jean-Pierre to make her work
easier?
Leaks only are required when there
is an adversarial relationship or a distance between the establishment and the media. CNN's
function is to make the Democrats look good. Jean-Pierre will not need to
rely on leaks from her partner because she will get all that information from
each and every mainstream media outlet without challenge. In fact, the information will be provided even if it isn't requested like inter-departmental communications.
It is most unfortunate that matters have deteriorated to such
an extent that this link seems like a minor issue. Jean-Pierre is merely a cog
in the vast machinery.
As a news consumer, you have to continue to presume every word emanating from both Jean-Pierre and the news media to be false until proven true.
