White House Spokesman John Kirby Disrespects RT Journalist
As a Journalist, this display of misguided and just plain disrespectful tone and manner this all happened truely is a sad moment in the time line of media. Former Rear Admiral (Appropriate position) now White House Spokesperson for the soon exiting Obama Administration John Kirby, literally looses his senses as he is asked simple questions from Gayane Chichakyan , an RT reporter.
This conversation heats up as Mr. Kirby is asked to confirm the White House allegations and statements of Russia and the Syrian regime bombing of "five hospitals and at least one mobile clinic in Syria.". Which in fact goes on with the many things that have come out of Washington since the very beginning. Below is the actual video of the altercation.
.............(taking a deep breath).
This was a shame mark on reporting everywhere. Keep in mind this behavior from Kirby is coming after the even more ridiculous classifications certain platforms & social media outlets are marking as "fake news". (We will address this in a separate soon to come article.)
The line of questioning was NOT out of line and honestly where good questions, but instead Kirby decides to dig the knife even deeper and start going on an offensive tirade to the RT reporter as if she worked directly for the Russian Defense Ministry and uses the point of it being a Russian News outlet as his source of reasoning. Nevertheless, it is true from our research in fact there are reports that these bombings happened and who they deem responsible such as the Syrian Observer. All he had to do was be prepared and this was an epic failure and yet another scene to add to the circus on Capitol Hill.
It truly is a disgusting and very shameful performance from Kirby. Now lets go even further, Kirby adds in his rant that he, "is not going to treat RT like the rest of the 'independent' media outlets in the room...". Talk about irony and just plain out shameful actions on the part of the Obama lead Administration.
This is not the first time the former Rear Admiral has displayed some very distasteful behavior to the press. Lets not forget this is the same guy who literally uncontrollable thought he was at the Comedy Shack and basically mocked and gloated at the "transparency" & "democracy" of the State Department.
But wait....there is more...
This was swiftly responded with a very candid statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova.
In the video below, you can clearly see the disgust in her body language as she comes to the podium to give the response.
"Is this some new form of segregation? Dividing media on an ideological basis?"
"I don't think that American journalists will be happy with such a scenario,"
A later report, is said that a representative for the White House media speaking heads pulled the RT reporter to the side after this disgusting and UN-American response from Kirby to apologize and submitted a private email with detailed sources of what was said to her. They have yet to confirm the resources provided from the White House.
