Appearing on Fox Business Network’s Varney & Co. Wednesday morning, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell hammered the leftist media for refusing to cover numerous bad news stories during President Biden’s disastrous first year in office. Bozell called out Biden for lying on multiple topics and wondered when anyone in the liberal press would call out the President’s dishonesty.
“Brent, how did the media cover his first year, which was full of crises and failures?,” anchor Stuart Varney asked. Referring to Biden’s upcoming press conference marking the first year of his presidency, Bozell joked: “…he’s spending two days preparing, for what? He’s going to read a teleprompter, then he’s gonna turn his back and say. ‘My staff told me I’ve gotta leave now.’ There’s nothing this man needs to prepare for.”
Then he listed the Biden Administration failures, which were ignored by complicit left-wing media.
How the media cover him – you know, if the media were doing their job, they would be reporting today the list of deceitful statements he’s going to make. Which are the most important things the media has not reported on this year? The one thing they’ve covered is Afghanistan and the debacle in Afghanistan. The entire world was looking, therefore they were forced to.
But look at the things that they’re not covering, the absolute dysfunction of the CDC that does not know what it’s doing it its policies are destroying a generation of young people. The absolute arrogance of unions, of teachers’ unions, who are not allowing children to be taught. It is obvious that President Obama lied to the cameras when he stated that spending $3.5 billion wasn’t going any cost. He claimed that only super-rich would be subject to tax. Under his plans, everyone’s going to be taxed. The fact that his energy policies – his own energy policies – have caused those $4.50 and $5 a gallon prices that you’re seeing now.
Bozell then singled out Biden’s wildly offensive rhetoric regarding radical voting legislation being pushed by Democrats: “…my most favorite one that they won’t cover is the voting rights debate. How many voting rights does the country need? Where am I going to see the very first story where someone’s gonna say there’s not one person in the United States of America whose voting rights were taken away? Not one, not one.”
Varney then noted how Biden’s “Atlanta speech on voting rights was a disaster, but White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is again defending the President and that speech.” After playing a soundbite of Psaki laughably claiming the address – in which Biden compared opponents to George Wallace and Jefferson Davis – “was not a partisan speech,” Varney remarked: “Please, not partisan? He compared Republicans to segregationists.”
Bozell slammed Biden’s incendiary tirade: “That was one of the ugliest speeches I’ve ever heard. He is trying to divide this country racially and calling people racist in order to do that….I think it’s deplorable.”
Below is the complete transcript from the January 19th segment.
11.20 am ET
STUART VARNEY: Now look who’s here, Brent Bozell. This is our media person of the day. Brent, what was the first year like for you? Was it full of failures and crisis?
BRENT BOZELL: I think it’s very interesting how that last segment ended, that he’s spending two days preparing, for what? He’s going to read a teleprompter, then he’s gonna turn his back and say. “My staff told me I’ve gotta leave now.” There’s nothing this man needs to prepare for.
How the media cover him – you know, if the media were doing their job, they would be reporting today the list of deceitful statements he’s going to make. Which are the most important things the media has not reported on this year? The one thing they’ve covered is Afghanistan and the debacle in Afghanistan. The entire world was looking, therefore they were forced to.
But look at the things that they’re not covering, the absolute dysfunction of the CDC that does not know what it’s doing it its policies are destroying a generation of young people. The absolute arrogance of unions, of teachers’ unions, who are not allowing children to be taught. It is obvious that President Obama lied to the cameras when he stated that spending $3.5 billion wasn’t going any cost. He claimed that only super-rich would be subject to tax. Under his plans, everyone’s going to be taxed. The fact that his energy policies – his own energy policies – have caused those $4.50 and $5 a gallon prices that you’re seeing now.
And then, what I love so much, my most favorite one that they won’t cover is the voting rights debate. How many voting rights does the country need? Where am I going to see the very first story where someone’s gonna say there’s not one person in the United States of America whose voting rights were taken away? None, none.
VARNEY: You know exactly what they are gonna cover on a daily basis, and that’s January the 6th. They’ll never leave that alone because it’s the only thing they’ve got.
BOZELL: Yes. “Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump.” The legacy of Donald Trump is they can’t stop attacking Donald Trump.
VARNEY: That’s his legacy. While I was disappointed by his speech in Atlanta on voting rights, Jen Psaki (White House Press Secretary) is defending President Obama and the speech. This is what you need to see.
JOE BIDEN : I want every elected official to remember you. Would you rather be Jefferson Davis, Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?!
JEN PSAKI, It was not an partisan speech. It was intended to lay out for the public exactly what’s at stake and layout for elected officials what’s at stake.
VARNEY – Please don’t be partisan. He likened Republicans to segregationists. Brent, get on it.
BOZELL: That was one of the ugliest speeches I’ve ever heard.
VARNEY: Yes, agreed.
BOZELL: To divide the country racially, he is calling racists. What’s happening here? His black base is leaving the Democratic Party. If more – if a very small percentage more leave, the Democratic Party is in ruins and they know it. So they’re desperately trying to keep that bleeding by calling whites racist and by calling Republicans racist. I think it’s deplorable – talk about deplorable. I don’t know that I’ve ever heard a President of the United States stoop so low with personal attacks.
VARNEY: Agreed. Let’s see what comes up this afternoon. I’ll be watching, you’ll be watching, the world will be watching I suspect. Brent Bozell, we thank you, and see you soon.
BOZELL: Stuart, thank you.
