Vivek Puts Media on the Spot With Stunning Questions, Their Response Should Concern Us All

Vivek Ramaswamy certainly seems to have a talent in knowing how to deal with media. The most recent examples of this were when he decimated NBC's Dasha Burns as well as a WaPo reporter on questions about racism and white supremacy.

He was talking with two state reps, and one of them wanted to know if there was any of the national media who believed they were wrong. Vivek said that was a great question, and then he asked the assembled media in front of him some things I think we would all like to know from them.

"Who here is willing to admit that the Trump-Russia collusion hoax was inaccurately reported by the mainstream media?" he asked of the reporters. There didn't seem to be any takers to acknowledge that basic truth. They frankly seemed stunned that he would even ask them such a thing. One reporter offered it "wouldn't be really appropriate for answer a question like that." "Why not?" Vivek asked. "What's inappropriate is lying to the public."

Vivek then went on to say he thought that the public was lied to long after it became known about the Clinton involvement in the Steele dossier. He then went on to give another example that he thought might be easier for them. "Does anyone believe the media's reporting about the origin of COVID-19?" He asked for a show of hands whether anyone believed that the Wuhan lab was the likely source. The state reps raised their hands. None of the media did.

Vivek even mentioned a reporter from an outlet that had reported on the laptop, but it wasn't clear if that reporter acknowledged it. One reporter asked about Rudy Giuliani being sued in relation to the laptop as though that somehow put the laptop in question and she asked why Vivek was asking about this now. Vivek explained that it was election interference, and that he thought that there was the "same kind of election interference" going on now too.

And it's concerning — when they're the media who have the supposed job of ferreting out the truth and presenting facts to us — that they don't seem to know the facts or seem to be interested in the truth.

Fauci's Latest Admissions Are the Death of Expertise

Noted "experts" who demanded total subservience have once again been exposed as misleading those they sought to control. That's the story after Dr. Anthony Fauci made several interesting (and disturbing) admissions regarding the federal government's response to COVID-19.

Fauci was testifying in a closed-door setting to the House coronavirus sub-committee when he told those present that the infamous "six foot" social distancing rule was essentially based on nothing. Dr. Fauci claimed that the “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation promoted by federal health officials was likely not based on any data. He characterized the development of the guidance by stating, “It sort of just appeared.”

As noted in the above-linked article, the rule didn't actually "sort of just appear." Rather, it was based on a high-school science project, showing the amateurish response to the COVID-19 pandemic being instituted by federal bureaucrats. Practically, Fauci and others likely just wanted an excuse to keep people away from each other, and six foot sounded good. That was the extent of their "expertise" on the matter.

Fauci would go on to also admit the lab leak theory was not, in fact, a conspiracy theory. The good doctor had previously spent years chastising anyone who didn't subscribe to the natural origins theory, which supposes an elusive bat that has never been traced was responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.

Credentialism is a cancer. There are thousands of people in positions of power with fancy pieces of paper on their walls who couldn't problem-solve their way out of a paper bag, and many of them work for the federal government. How many times have we been told to "trust the experts." Why should we given their track record?
