As Bonchie reported earlier today, it didn’t take long for “reporters” to begin swooning over Antony Blinken, a longtime Joe Biden aide who is also the Democratic presidential nominee’s secretary of state pick.
CNN senior global affairs analyst/journalist Bianna Golodryga, who is also listed on CNN’s website as a “fill-in anchor” for the network, was among the many who oohed and aahed Biden’s decision, making sure to double down on the subtle anti-Trump cheap shot included in the Bloomberg article she cited in her tweet by including one of her own:
“The selection of Blinken as America’s top diplomat signals Biden’s aim to place experienced people in key cabinet posts.”
This sentence would not have stood out before 2016, it likely would not have been written at all actually. https://t.co/IQGyLzV9nZ

Former acting DNI Richard Grenell, who has faced similar “he’s inexperienced” criticisms in the past from Democrats and others in the media who didn’t like how well he did his job, saw Golodryga’s Twitter post and responded accordingly by accusing her of being a liberally biased journalist:
You are supposed to be a journalist not a cheerleader for the Democrats. https://t.co/cacAOddhN5

Funny thing is that instead of countering Grenell’s claim, just a few hours later Golodryga responded to his tweet by … proving his point:
“Putting experienced people in key cabinet positions” apparently hit a nerve. I can understand why.
I’m really looking forward to the day when a Senate confirmed DNI doesn’t moonlight as an internet troll. https://t.co/zJpRtJt0fn

Grenell, who has made it clear in prior tweets that he is not one to be trifled with, did not let up:
You can mock those who call out your bias all you want.
You can ignore the criticism and keep pushing your agenda all you want.
But you can’t stop the public from pointing out that you aren’t a real journalist. You are an activist for the Democrats. https://t.co/siymjCohwA

MSNBC anchor Ali “peaceful protest” Velshi tried to white knight for Golodryga:
Curtis, not that @biannagolodryga needs my help, but she’s truly an outstanding journalist. And her post & statement about Blinken was accurate. You’d have to agree some of Trump’s appointees, @RichardGrenell in particular, were singularly unqualified for their positions
— Ali Velshi (@AliVelshi) November 23, 2020
But he was no match for Grenell, who kept his foot on the gas:
You are so obvious in your bias, Ali. MSNBC demands you be far left and you’ve dutifully complied. You are an activist that has helped ruin journalism. If you did actual journalism you would see my first intel briefing was 2001. I know how intel is used and abused.

It’s hilarious in a way. If reporters at least put on the pretense of being neutral- even if it was just going through the motions of reporting on important stories objectively, we wouldn’t have to keep having these conversations over and over and over again. But as independent journalist Glenn Greenwald documented below (and as we have here as well on many occasions), it’s like they don’t even care anymore just how “out there” their pro-Democrat biases are:
Biden isn’t even sworn in and journalists are barely even pretending to do anything other than swooning and falling all over themselves in obsequious praise. Go easy, guys: you have 4 years of resting, deference and praise: don’t burn yourselves out so soon. Pace yourselves. pic.twitter.com/eEx0ywCIta

Sadly, this is only a mere preview of the type of nauseating, full-blown state-run TV/print media stuff we will see on an hourly basis in the event Biden and Harris are certified next month as the winners of the election. Which is why – even in the event Trump loses – we must continue to fight the good fight and expose these people for who and what they are. Because no one else will.
