He didn’t hold back.

He did not hold back. The coverage – of lack of it – is astonishing. The Kosovo/Serbia agreement is a stunning achievement.

The Democrat media complex is the enemy of the people.

‘Maybe it’s too complicated of an issue for you all’: Grenell excoriates White House press corps over coverage of historic Kosovo and Serbia agreement

By Washington Examiner, September 4, 2020

Former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell castigated the White House press corps for a perceived lack of interest in Friday’s news that Serbia agreed to become the third country to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

“This is atrocious … You might be too young to understand what this issue is about,” Grenell said during a White House press conference that was intended to address the news that Serbia and Kosovo had agreed to a historic agreement to normalize relations.

“Maybe the older journalists should step up and say, ‘This is a big deal.’ … I am astounded about what happens in D.C. and especially [in the White House Briefing].”

Grenell, who serves as the special presidential envoy for Serbia and Kosovo peace negotiations, added that the issue is “substantive, maybe it’s too complicated of an issue for you all.”

Grenell continued: “You guys don’t understand what’s happening outside of Washington, D.C., people aren’t listening to you anymore. It’s really a crisis in journalism, and I think it’s because people are too young to understand issues like Kosovo and Serbia.”

Grenell was widely criticized by many left-leaning journalists, who took issue with his critique of the media, and the former ambassador to Germany responded to some of those criticisms on Twitter.

“I’m not paid,” Grenell tweeted in response to Vox’s Aaron Rupar. “You get this advice for FREE! You are welcome.”

Ya gotta love Grenell’s tenacity. President Trump should be very proud of his people! BUT, the Dems will find fault with even, THAT. DUMB DEMONRAT CLUCKS.

These younger Socialists were never taught HISTORY. When you don’t learn from or about history, you are bound to repeat it, so-called REPORTERS and FOOLISH JOURNALISTS.

In 1871 Serbs comprised 66% of the Kosovan population. In 2011 it was only 1.5% (with Albanians making up almost 93%). It’s about time that Serbia faces the harsh reality that they’re not really in charge there anymore.

The press, today, truly is the enemy of the people of the USA. They wouldn’t report news ever if it didn’t fit their narrative of conservatives are bad and liberals, those worthless turds, are good. So, instead of getting all defensive that bald headed moron should have just asked a question about it. They believe it is about THEM. They stink and need have their protected status lessened in the Constitution.

They’ve been hit before now but the mainstream media are too dumb to pick up on it so they won’t pick up on it now either. Sorry…
