A reporter for NBC named Dasha Burns recently did a sit-down interview with John Fetterman, the Democrat running for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania.
Due to his stroke a few months ago, Fetterman required a transcription program to put her questions on a screen so he could read them. Even so, Fetterman still struggled to process her questions and formulate answers.
At one point during the broadcast, Burns told viewers that prior to the interview, Fetterman struggled to make small talk with her.
The interview looked awful for Fetterman and panicked our partisan media, which desperately wants Democrats to retain control of the Senate, so journalists have started attacking Burns.
FOX News reports:
NBC reporter who commented on Fetterman’s health causes panic among ‘objective journalists’An NBC reporter is enduring a liberal media onslaught over her interview of Pennsylvania Democratic Senate hopeful John Fetterman and her remark that he had difficulty understanding their conversation off-camera.NBC correspondent Dasha Burns’ remarks about Fetterman, who is recovering from a stroke he suffered earlier this year, have prompted a barrage of tweets blasting her judgment and journalism, as well as multiple reports from outlets such as the New York Times, Washington Post and Associated Press about the backlash from the media and disability advocates.”When something turns people who are normally pretty lucid and rational completely hysterical, you know there’s a real story there. And when those same people tell you incessantly there’s no story, you can guarantee it’s worth exploring further,” Fourth Watch newsletter editor Steve Krakauer wrote Wednesday. “That’s why this John Fetterman ‘closed captioning’ uproar is so instructive – there’s panic among supposed objective journalists.”
Even the Associated Press came after Burns:
NBC reporter’s comment about Fetterman draws criticismAn NBC News correspondent who interviewed Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman says an on-air remark she made about him having difficulty following part of their conversation should not be seen as a commentary on his fitness for office after he suffered a stroke.But reporter Dasha Burns’ comment that Fetterman appeared to have trouble understanding small talk prior to their interview has attracted attention — and Republicans have retweeted it as they seek an advantage in the closely followed Senate race between Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Oz.Fetterman, a Democrat, suffered a stroke on May 13, and his health has emerged as a major issue in the campaign.
Journalists on the left are losing their minds over this.
The ladies of the View repeated this talking point:
BuzzFeed actually tried to turn this into an issue about violence against people with disabilities.
It’s so clear what’s really going on here.
All the talk from people in media standing up for journalists and journalism under Trump was just talk. They will attack one of their own to defend the Democrat majority in the Senate.
