Perhaps Haberman believes ‘Edelweiss’ is a symbol of a fictional television takeover by Nazis. That’s the only explanation I can come up with.
Yesterday was not a good day for the mainstream media. The Robert Mueller report left journalists associated with outlets like CNN, the Washington Post, and the New York Times reeling for a hook that would redeem them of their cosmically false reporting on whether President Trump colluded with Russia to manipulate the results of the 2016 election.
New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman has been at the forefront of speculative “reporting” dating back to before Trump won the White House. In recent reporting, she took the opportunity to use Rep. Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitic comments to call Trump a racist, and of course she had her own personal truth about Russian collusion before the release of the Mueller report concluded there was none. Haberman has certainly been known to bend the news to make the president and his supporters look as evil as possible, even in the absence of evidence.
On Thursday, as press gathered at the White House to eventually hear the news that Mueller had not only swung and missed at proving any Russian collusion, but also came up empty on evidence of obstruction, Haberman had an especially interesting take regarding the White House music selection.
“Edelweiss” is original to the Rogers and Hammerstein musical, “The Sound of Music,” and dates back to 1959.
