TRUMP HUMILIATES MEDIA JACKALS AT JOINT PRESS CONFERENCE

    Earlier this week, Sauli Niinisto, the President of Finland, visited the White House for a series of bilateral talks with President Trump. As is typical these days, the Corporate Media gave the meeting little attention. And, as is even more typical, they made fools of themselves in front of the international community once again at the concluding Press Conference. 

   The actual newsworthy events of the meeting were released by the White House News Room. Finland agreed to a major purchase of US military hardware and the Americans agreed to a technology-sharing agreement with Nokia---Finland's largest company. Niinisto mentioned that a Finnish tire manufacturer had opened a new factory in the US. And incidentally, the supposedly 'racist' Trump Administration got Finland to agree to repatriate over 500 Hopi Indian artifacts to the Tribe; which an archaeological team took to Helsinki  1895. 

  So when it came time for press questions, the first one out of the MSM's yapps was: 'What about impeachment, huh? What about impeachment? Blub-blub-blub! Did you hear what Schiff said? Whoo-hoo!"

  Trump calmly made some statements and politely suggested that they ask questions of the Finnish President. But they continued pressing until Trump scolded them for their rudeness and turned over the questions to the Finnish Media, who actually asked relevant questions. One very interesting one about US-Finnish research in the Arctic. 

  Frustrated, one US reporter finally blurted out a 'question' to President Niinisto:  "Mr. President, in your opening remarks, you said to President Trump that you had been to some museums today and that you respected the U.S. democracy and encouraged him to continue it.  Are you concerned that that’s not happening?"

   Niinstro, who behaved during the whole Press Conference as if lowering himself to MSM's level was somewhat humorous---like a public official taking questions from a 1st Grade Class---grew more serious.  "Yes." he said, "First of all, when I referred to your democracy, I just wanted to tell that I’m impressed what American people have gained during these decades — a hundred-so years — building up very impressive democracy.  So, keep it going on."

   What is really telling about this whole incident was reading its coverage in The Helsinki Times. The Finnish Press was clearly disgusted with the amount of distraction during the meeting. And it's noteworthy to observe how much actual news there is in the Finnish Media compared to ours. President Trump seems to have alluded to that in his closing remarks:

   "And please remember the President’s last remarks: that we are a great democracy.  We are a great — the United States is a great democracy.  And I’m airing what I’m airing because we are, in fact, a democracy.  And if the press were straight and honest and forthright and tough, we would be a far greater nation. We would be far greater when we don’t have the CNNs of the world, who are corrupt people."
