Media Gets Award Pulled From Mike Pompeo

Only moonbats qualify for awards. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo learned this after he earned a freedom award for freeing political prisoners, only to see it quickly rescinded under pressure from the “mainstream” media:

The James W. Foley Legacy Foundation, named for the journalist beheaded in 2014 by ISIS forces, had announced that at its dinner Tuesday night at the National Press Club Pompeo would receive the “2019 Foley American Hostage Freedom Award.” …

But soon after it was announced, the foundation withdrew it. What’s more, they also disinvited Pompeo from the event due to protests from angered media members who threatened to disrupt the event.

Yielding to the media’s bullying with the alacrity of university educrats eagerly knuckling under to leftist hooligans, they gave the award Pompeo had earned to Obama-era diplomat Brett McGurk instead. That should earn a pat on the head from the media powers that be.

If you want to win the award, make sure to be on the liberal side. The game is not played on a level field.

Unsurprisingly, media bullies who deprived Pompeo of his award included CNN’s dreadful Christiane Amanpour.

The objective was to prevent the public from becoming aware of the Trump Administration’s success in securing the release of Americans held abroad.

In theory, the role of the news media is to inform the public. In practice, its role is to prevent the public from becoming informed.
