In his criticism of the media’s “obscene inequality” in its reporting of the lost Titanic submarine and the disaster of a migrant ship near the coast of Greece this past week, former President Barack Obama cited two instances.
Obama stated that the “minute-to-minute” coverage of the missing Titan submarine significantly eclipsed television coverage of a migrant boat drowning where hundreds of individuals have gone missing during a sit-down conversation with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour in Greece.
“You consider the most recent news,” Obama remarked. “Normally, we don’t discuss the news of the day, but as I understand it, this submarine, which is regrettably currently lost at sea, is currently the subject of 24 hour coverage.”
“The Titan submarine imploded and killed all five occupants, according to a report released by the US Coast Guard this week.” According to WLBT, “the National Transportation Safety Board has stated an investigation is currently in progress.”
“Obama stated that “700 people had died at the same moment precisely right here, just off the shore of Greece. Seven hundred migrants who were allegedly being smuggled into this country and have become news, but it isn’t dominating in the exact same way, and in some respects, it is indicative of the extent to which life chances for individuals have grown so disparate,”
On June 14, a boat capsized in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Greece. 78 persons have been officially pronounced dead, while 104 have been saved. There has been a lot of inconsistency in the news reports. Greek officials said they volunteered to save the boat after The Guardian originally reported that it soon sunk. This assertion conflicts with survivors’ personal experiences, according to which they claimed to have been pleading for assistance for 15 hours, according to AS.com. The boat hadn’t moved for seven hours, according to an additional investigation by the Guardian.
“With the levels of inequality we’ve seen brought on by globalization, technology, and the loss of unions,” Obama declared that “our democracy is not going to be healthy. Outrageous inequality.”
Obama ,the condescending,sly narcissist,ihas always been an America hating Muslim in “sheeps clothing”.Repulsive and snarky.
You said it all. O is a.Muslim hater of America. He has changed America into a Banana Republic. He still pulls the strings behind the scene. God help America.
I totally agree !!!!! Need I say more.
Obama is a Communist as was his parents and grandparents He has the idea about open borders who is paying for these people? We are the ones good way to make the country a third world country and a broke one too. We have a President who has sold his soul to the all mighty dollar and has followed Obama like a lap dog. Democratic Party does hate America.
If Barry is upset by the news coverage maybe he should stop watching CNN, NPR & MSNBC, et al. Find another news outlet……..read the newspaper, Barry ! Some of us were interested and PRAYING that those 5 souls made it back but, alas, it was not meant to be! If you think they were spending too much time on it, TURN THE CHANNEL!! TURN THE BOOB-TUBE OFF!! Learn to play the piano, learn to strum a guitar. Stop blathering on about “equity” in the news!! I just heard that there was a Professor at Penn State who was told he was proving his “white supremacy” by teaching English! Why don’t you folks get on a rocket and go colonize Mars…..bother them with your “equity” and racism and all your other progressive, liberal, socialist blah, blah, blah!!
The main stream media are liberal mouthpieces doing what they are told to do. That means they are puppets for people like you, O.
The skinny is that Big Mike is going to run in 2024—-thus all the transgender garbage being forced down our throats. Anyone who does not support this agenda is a transphobe, bigot, racist…….
Correct
He needs a zipper!! Badly!!
No, they need Urns ,,him and his drag queen husband
Granted, both of these incidents were tragic to say the least; but for His Highness, Obama, to attempt to equate them to “inequality” is just downright absurd. For him to say it is, “indicative of the extent to which life chances for individuals have grown so disparate” is to needlessly point out what has been an historical fact since the beginning of mankind and it’s something that will never change. There will always be those that have more than others, whether resulting from hard work, inheritance, or stealth. Fortunately, in this country, the opportunities to increase your financial standing exist, if the individual is willing to extend the effort to acquire it. However, in far too many instances, the individuals who covet the wealth of others are unwilling to put forth the necessary effort to do so–they’d rather live off of the efforts of others and complain the entire time that they’re being treated unfairly. The people who died on the Titanic submarine were evidently wealthy as the ticket price was $250,000 per person. At this point, it doesn’t really matter how they earned their wealth. What does matter is they weren’t in the process of committing a crime by paying to be a passenger on the sub. Those people on the migrant ship that sank off the coast of Greece, were in the process of committing a crime by being smuggled into our country, illegally, when they met their fates. If they hadn’t been attempting to break our laws, they wouldn’t have been on the ship in the first place and they’d still be alive. Two entirely different scenarios altogether, yet Mr. Obama would try to convince us that one of incidents was more tragic than the other due to the financial and unequal circumstances of those involved. His goal is always to instigate divisiveness among the various levels of society. Considering his financial circumstances, if he is so concerned, he could do a great deal toward decreasing “inequality” by donating some of his millions to those whose “life chances are so disparate” from…oh, let’s say…his financial circumstances. Hmmmmm…………
When the Bamstir gives up his Martha’s Vinyard beach front Mansion And his Hawaiian villa and give all that money to help the poor, I will start paying attention to his BS. No, I can’t stand him.
He’s always tried to liken ILLEGAL ENTRY into this country to “immigration.” Either he doesn’t understand the difference between becoming a LEGAL CITIZEN of this country, and ILLEGALLY CROSSING OUR BORDERS, and needs to study the differences between the two, or he’s playing stupid in order to spread DISINFORMATION among the clueless masses who are no longer being taught Civics, American History, and a knowledge of our immigration laws. There’s a vast difference between “immigration” and the willful VIOLATION of our immigration laws by illegally crossing our borders, and he needs to stop spreading disinformation about the two. The implosion of the Titan submarine and the sinking of a ship full of illegals are in no way similar, and this privileged, so-called “black former president,” whose white ancestors on his mother’s side were slave owners, needs to stop trying to divide this country with his racist rhetoric.
