Today Trump asked a reporter if she worked for the Chinese government. There was a collective gasp. Everybody in the briefing room, being for the most part ignorant American journalists, was aghast. The reporter replied defensively that her company is privately owned… but she was lying. Her company, Phoenix Media, is at least 65% owned by the government of China. She’s a propagandist, not a reporter. Trump, as usual, was way ahead of the clueless denizens of the White House Press Corps.
