Eric Zuesse -- Why Do All U.S. ‘News’-Media Hide that Joe Biden Is a Stealthy Bigot?

Why Do All U.S. ‘News’-Media Hide that Joe Biden Is a Stealthy Bigot?

Eric Zuesse

On July 9th, I emailed a submission to all U.S. news organizations an article, headlined and documenting “Joe Biden as a Stealthy Bigot”, and reported there Joe Biden’s actual history on this matter, and not merely his pretty campaign words about it.

None published it.

Frankly, that unanimity of important news-suppression in the United States shocked me.

Why is this crucial information, about the other bigot in the U.S. Presidential campaign, being blocked, totally hidden, by all of America’s ‘news’-organizations?

That’s an even bigger news-story than the fact that both of the major-Party U.S. Presidential candidates are bigots against Blacks.

I now submit this follow-up news story about the shocking rot in America’s ‘news’-organizations. It will probably likewise not be reported. But, if so, then how can such a nation as America even CLAIM to be a ‘democracy’?

So, if you somehow happen to be reading this (despite the news-blackout against it), please email it to everyone you know. They’re not going to be reading about it in their newspapers, or hearing about it on television.

Eric Zuesse -- New York Times Reveals America’s Weapons-Makers Drive Trump-Impeachment

New York Times Reveals America’s Weapons-Makers Drive Trump-Impeachment

A remarkably non-propagandistic news-report, in the New York Times, by Eric Lipton, Maggie Haberman and Mark Mazzetti, included powerful evidence that the impeachment-effort against US President Donald Trump is motivated, in part if not totally, by a desire by US Senators and Representatives — as well as by career employees of the US Departments of Defense, State Department, and other agencies regarding national defense — to increase the sales-volumes of US-made weapons to foreign countries. Whereas almost all of the contents of that article merely repeat what has already been reported, this article in the Times states repeatedly that boosting corporations such as Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Boeing, and Northrop-Grumman, has been a major — if not the very top — motivation driving US international relations, and that at least regarding Ukraine, Trump has not been supporting, but has instead been trying to block, those weapons-sales — and creating massive enemies in the US Government as a direct consequence.

The article, issued online on Sunday, December 29th, is titled “Behind the Ukraine Aid Freeze: 84 Days of Conflict and Confusion”, and it quotes many such individuals as saying that President Trump strongly opposed the sale of US weapons to Ukraine, and that,

In an Oval Office meeting on May 23, with Mr. Sondland, Mr. Mulvaney and Mr. Blair in attendance, Mr. Trump batted away assurances that [Ukraine’s current President] Mr. Zelensky was committed to confronting corruption. “They are all corrupt, they are all terrible people,” Mr. Trump said, according to testimony in the impeachment inquiry.

In other words, Trump, allegedly, said that he didn’t want “terrible people” to be buying, and to receive, US-made weapons (especially not as US aid — free of charge, a gift from America’s taxpayers).

The article simply assumes that Trump was wrong that “they are all terrible people.”
