Their functioning is essential to Democracy. Their
job is to represent 331 million citizens and hold the White House accountable.
That was how a Democracy works in theory.
So what is the reality?
The White House Press Corps is a liberal echo chamber and part of the Washington Democrat establishment. Their function is to show the Biden administration in a flattering light. Seldom
are any tough questions posed. The questions are probably pre-screened. Perhaps
White House officials provide questions that the press pretends are theirs and dutifully ask during press briefings. It is all a disgraceful charade to deceive the public that Democracy is functioning well.
Even when the White House Press Corps is treated poorly and restricted access to key White House events they do not express any outrage in public or on social media. Instead, they dispatch a politely worded letter to the White House Press Secretary in private where they docilely pleaded for access. The reason for the request is because it “undermines President Biden's credibility when he says he is a defender of the First Amendment”.
There are few thorns on this bed of roses who dare
to sow discord in the echo chamber holding everyone from the Press Secretary to
the President accountable.
The self-proclaimed proponents of Democracy do not
take kindly to being questioned or challenged.

In times where there has been such a total surrender
of initiative and collapse of credibility, performing basic duties seem like a revolutionary
act
The revolutionary of the day was once again Fox
News White House correspondent Peter Doocy.
Doocy questioned White House press secretary
Karine Jean-Pierre about Joe Biden’s alleged voicemail about his son’s business
dealings in China.
The purported 2018 voicemail published
by the Daily Mail has Joe Biden talking to his son, Hunter, regarding a piece
that appeared in the
New York Times that covered Hunter’s
shady business dealings in China, telling him he is likely “in the clear.”

In the past, Biden has repeatedly claimed he
has never spoken to his son about his business dealings.

Even former White House Press Secretary repeated
the claim that Biden “does not get involved in the business dealings of his son...”

The following are the specifics of the exchange between
Doocy and Jean-Pierre
Doocy asked, “Why is there a voicemail of the
president talking to his son about his overseas business dealings if the
president has said he’s never spoken to his son about his overseas business
dealings?”
Jean-Pierre replied, “First, I’ll say that
what the president said stands, so if that’s what the president said that is
what stands”

Doocy pressed further, “He left a voicemail
about a New York Times article concerning Hunter Biden’s business dealings and
says, ‘I think you’re clear,'” How is that him not talking to his son
about his overseas business dealings?”
Jean-Pierre was defiant, “I am not going to talk
about alleged materials on the laptop,” she insisted. “It is not happening.”
Doocy: “You’re refuting, then, that is not—”
Doocy's revolutionary act was contagious.
RealClearPolitics White House reporter Phillip Wegmann followed up on Doocy's question.

Wegmann asked, “You seemed to dismiss Peter’s
question about his conversation with his son, Hunter Biden, with regards to his
business dealings,”
I’m wondering how is that silence consistent with
the president’s promise to always level with the American public because in
public he says he hasn’t discussed these business dealings, and then at least
according to the voicemail that has been obtained by the Daily Mail and
Washington Examiner, it certainly seems like he was seeking to do exactly that,
have a conversation about these business dealings. Is he leveling with the
American public on this?”
Jean-Pierre repeated again that she cannot discuss
materials from Hunter’s laptop and referred him to his representative.
That was concluded the matter.
According to reports by the Senate Finance
Committee and Senate Homeland Security Committee, CEFC China Energy wired nearly
$4.8 million to Hunter’s law firm through September 2018
Also, Hunter’s laptop contained
receipts and emails that provided ample proof of his shady dealings in
China and with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, where Hunter served on the
Board of Directors.
This is why Democrats, the media, and big tech colluded to suppress the news pertaining to Hunter’s laptop and dismissed
it as Russian disinformation. A study showed that
one in six voters would have changed their votes had they knowns of the
laptop. This was another way the Democrats rigged the 2020 Presidential Elections.
Jean-Pierre's attempt to dismiss a question
pertaining to serious allegations against the nation's first family is nothing
short of outrageous.
In a Democracy, the White House Press Secretary cannot decline any questions posed by the press, she is obliged to provide answers, especially on matters of such grave importance.
If the White House Press Corps has any morals, they
would have staged a walkout and returned only when Jean-Pierre provided a
satisfactory answer.
But that won’t happen.
The White Press Corps that assumed a viciously adversarial role during the press briefing of the Trump administration now willingly and suppliantly wag their tails before Biden officials hoping for biscuits to be tossed in their direction.
This is more proof that Democracy is rapidly eroding under the Biden administration.
