When President Biden met with Russian Vladimir Putin the subject of “misdeeds” by the former KBG agent were blasted in the American media. When Mr. Putin responded by questioning American respect for human rights and illegal actions on the world stage, the mainstream media started to howl.
“Russian President Vladimir Putin displayed his ‘classic’ whataboutism play at the news conference after his meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden concluded, former Top Russia Adviser to President Trump Fiona Hill said. ‘His tone was dispassionate and matter of fact and slightly cynical,’ she said. ‘This whataboutism is a classic Putin play as well, just turning every question back to either to the questioner or also to things that are happening in the United States or whichever country that he’s meeting with,’ ” reported CNN following the separate Biden and Putin press conferences that followed their meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.
“Whataboutism” is the media catchphrase for when Mr. Putin, or others, don’t respond to American claims or charges of human rights violations, curtailing press freedoms, militaristic aggression, election meddling and now cyber attacks that can disable critical infrastructure or industries.
But America, herself, is guilty of these very crimes, despite the mainstream media’s refusal to admit these failures or concede that Mr. Putin, whether his good or bad, actually spoke some truth.
