This week, Michael Phelps carried the American flag into Maracana stadium during the opening ceremony of the 2016 Rio Olympics. He was selected by his peers on Team USA after becoming the most decorated olympian in history, having won 22 medals and appearing in four previous Olympic games. Despite his many accomplishments, however, some are trying to argue that he didn’t deserve the privilege to carry the stars and stripes into the arena.
The Olympics — and especially the opening ceremonies — have long been recognized for their distinct lack of politics. Warring countries have marched alongside one another at multiple games in displays meant to show unity despite the world’s many ongoing conflicts.
Some, however, are trying to inject politics, political correctness, and accusations of white privilege back into the games. See who many thought was a more worthy flagbearer on the nest page. Be forewarned, it had nothing to do with her athletic ability:
Or the finger that squeezes.
Ridiculous
CNN is full of socialist nepotism to !!!!!——————————————->CNN, CBS News, ABC News Honchos Have Obama Administration Family Ties
If you want to understand why the mainstream media is so in love with the Obama administration, this can in part be explained by the fact that a number of big shots who control levers of media power actually do love high-placed officials within the Obama administration. Byblood and through marriage, there is more than just a shared belief in left-wing politics that ensured the American media became a mouthpiece for the Obama administration.
David Rhoades, the current president of CBS News, is the brother of Ben Rhoades, a White House national security advisor. If Ben’s name sounds familiar, that is likely due to his reported role in the editing of the now infamous Benghazi talking points.
Claire Shipman, a senior national correspondent at ABC News, is married to no other than Jay Carney, the White House Press Secretary.
If those ties between the Obama White House and ABC News aren’t disturbing enough, the president of ABC News, Ben Sherwood, is brother to Dr. Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, a special advisor to Barack Obama.
Virginia Moseley is a CNN Vice President and Washington Bureau Chief married to Tom Nides, a Deputy Secretary of State under Barack Obama.
What is especially interesting is that three of the White House officials listed here, who are related in some way to mainstream media big shots, have ties to the Benghazi scandal. Tom Nides is at State, Ben Rhoades was part of the talking point debacle, and Jay Carney spent over a week repeatedly making false claims about terrorists not being behind the September 11th anniversary attack on our diplomatic outpost.
This might help to explain why the media spent the better part of a month in the run up to the election blasting Mitt Romney for his comments on Benghazi as opposed to the Obama Administration for their bungling and lying about Benghazi.
