“Blah Blah Math Blah Blah”: Wash Post Journalist Responds to Humiliating ‘$1 Million For Every American’ Fail
Doubles down and gets her math wrong once again.
Published
1 year agoon

The Washington Post journalist who was humiliated after claiming Mike Bloomberg’s $500 million ad spend could have been used to give every American $1 million dollars responded to the controversy by tweeting “blah blah math blah blah.”
OK, then.
As we highlighted earlier, Mekita Rivas responded to Bloomberg dropping out of the presidential race by claiming that the money he spent on campaign commercials could have made every American a millionaire with lots of spare change.
With math obviously not being Rivas’ strong point, it was immediately pointed out that Bloomberg’s $500 billion doled out to all 327 million Americans would mean they get just $1.53 each.
That didn’t stop MSNBC’s Brian Williams and New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay repeating the claim as if it was accurate.
“Actually with the money he spent he could have given every American a million dollars,” said Gay incorrectly.
This clip is just incredible. When he said “if you’re ahead of us on the math,” I thought he was about to correct the terrible math, but NO. pic.twitter.com/kAH3GDuPNl

“It’s an incredible way of putting it,” responded Williams.
Instead of holding her hands up and taking the L, Rivas absurdly doubled down.
Oh my gosh. @MekitaRivas doubled down! Wrong again. One would need $327 trillion to give each American $1m. Bloomberg is worth $65b, which equals around $200 per American. This is why socialism is gaining traction because government schools suck at teaching basic math. pic.twitter.com/rao57kq69n

Tweeting from behind a locked account, Rivas reacted to the farce by asserting, “blah blah math blah blah people are telling me my numbers are wrong but the point still stands: he could easily afford to give everyone $1 million and literally never notice.”
She was swiftly corrected once again.
“Oh my gosh. @MekitaRivas doubled down! Wrong again,” tweeted Terry Schilling. “One would need $327 trillion to give each American $1m. Bloomberg is worth $65b, which equals around $200 per American. This is why socialism is gaining traction because government schools suck at teaching basic math.”
Perhaps Rivas should de-activate her account and shut up for a while.
However, with the current state of journalism, she’s more likely to get a promotion from the Washington Post.

Journalist Slammed For Paying Home Visit to Utah Paramedic Who Donated $10 to Kyle Rittenhouse
Twitter takes zero action against reporter who doxxed private citizen.

A journalist was roundly condemned after visiting the home of a paramedic in Utah who donated $10 to Kyle Rittenhouse’s legal defense fund, with many asking why posting images of the man’s home didn’t violate Twitter’s policy on doxxing and harassment.
The incident occurred after the Guardian newspaper published the names of individuals who had donated to Rittenhouse following a data breach from a Christian crowdfunding website.
Among those names was West Valley City, Utah paramedic Craig Shepherd, who immediately became the target of an attempt by ABC4 reporter Jason Nguyen to further expose his identity.
“A Utah paramedic donated to the defense fund of Kyle Rittenhouse. It was first reported in the @guardian this morning,” tweeted Nguyen, claiming, “I tried to get the paramedics side of things.”

Rittenhouse is accused of killing two protesters in Kenosha, WI.
I tried to get the paramedics side of things. See the story tonight at 10p on @abc4utah. pic.twitter.com/sxGUzcrNwb— Jason Nguyen (@FollowWIN) April 17, 2021
In trying to “get the paramedics side of things,” Nguyen tweeted a photo of Shepherd’s front door, making his location easily discoverable.
Numerous respondents immediately accused Nguyen as hiding behind journalism as an excuse to carry out stalking, harassment and doxxing.
Are you trying to get him killed?
— Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) April 19, 2021
Shit like this is why people hate the media. If something happens to him or his family because you needed a ratings boost, I hope you and your station get sued into oblivion.
— Whatever (@DRussell76) April 18, 2021
Stalking is a crime.
— Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) April 18, 2021
Wait showing up on a private citizens doorstep with cameras based on leaked information about private donations?! How is that appropriate?
— Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) April 18, 2021
This isn't investigative journalism. This is stalking, intimidation, and harassment.
— AdamInHTownTX (Freedom Loving Neanderthal) (@AdamInHTownTX) April 18, 2021
I’m a Democrat, and what you did, contacting the paramedic, was not journalism, it was harassment and none of your business.
— No, Shoes, Shirt, Mask – No Service! (@seasidechic) April 18, 2021
Others pointed out that despite Twitter repeatedly suspending or banning conservative media outlets like Project Veritas for doorstepping public officials and other prominent figures, they took no action whatsoever against Nguyen for doxxing Craig Shepherd.
Remember like 3 days ago when Twitter said that showing pictures of someone’s house was against the TOS and banned a story from the Post exposing the BLM co-founder? Weird that they are letting this stay up, right? https://t.co/g9IsW8zGxA
— Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) April 18, 2021
Indeed, when the list of names was leaked, Twitter chose to make the issue one of its top trending subjects.
Thanks to Nguyen’s brave reporting, West Valley City Fire Department is now conducting an investigation into Shepherd’s $10 donation and has placed him on administrative leave, with his job now in jeopardy.
Predictably, Nguyen chose to ignore the most hard hitting criticism and only respond to an angry troll to make himself appear as the victim while using the late death of his mother as a shield for criticism.
Well my moms died of pancreatic cancer. I hope you bring flowers for her whoever you are.
— Jason Nguyen (@FollowWIN) April 18, 2021
As Glenn Greenwald highlighted, Nguyen is following in the fine tradition of CNN, who doorstepped and harassed an elderly lady in 2018 for contributing to a pro-Trump Facebook page.
Some journalists go to war zones. Some confront security state agencies and repressive regimes. Some uncover the fraudulent schemes of Wall Street tycoons. And then some bullies abuse the profession to harass and expose private, powerless people.https://t.co/iC6zIbu4GH
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) April 18, 2021
Is it any wonder why trust in media is so low and disgust for journalists so high when their primary purpose now appears to revolve around destroying people’s lives for the sin of expressing dissident opinions?

Video: Fauci Now Being Interviewed About Gun Control
“How can you say that’s not a public health issue?”
Published

19 April, 2021Steve Watson

While refusing to answer any basic questions about when endless lockdowns and mask mandates will be scrapped, Chief Medical advisor to Joe Biden, Anthony Fauci, is now appearing on TV to advocate for more gun control.
During an interview with CNN, after he’d blamed Republicans for prolonging lockdowns and again claimed that the restrictions have nothing to do with liberties, Fauci was asked to comment on gun violence.
Dr. Anthony Fauci on whether he considers gun violence a public health emergency: “When you see people getting killed, I mean, in this last month, it’s just been horrifying what’s happened. How can you say that’s not a public health issue?” #CNNSOTU pic.twitter.com/9lEhV3aZqL
— State of the Union (@CNNSotu) April 18, 2021
Fauci stated “Myself, as a public health person, I think you can’t run away from that. When you see people getting killed, in this last month it’s just been horrifying what’s happened. How can you say that’s not a public health issue?”
Eh?
The guy won’t even answer basic questions about the only subject he’s supposed to, but is happy to answer one about a completely unrelated topic to help push CNN’s anti-Second Amendment agenda.
Why would she ask Fauci about the Guns He can’t figure out the mask issue what’s he know about guns O M G CNN 🤣
— carol (@twigpgh) April 18, 2021
Dr. Fauci should stay in his lane…. Next, before you will know it he will demand we wear mask for gun violence!
— 1997yuppie (@1997yuppie) April 18, 2021
I thought he was the virus man. Why even ask him about guns?!?
— Jennifer (@coolbrit56) April 18, 2021
I challenge them to make gun violence a public health issue. Because if the subject is approached scientifically with a data-driven statistical approach, I believe some interesting results will need to be explained to the BLM.
— BlackHole (@BH128) April 18, 2021
so now CNN is dog whistling for its audience by having someone Fauci with zero reason to opine on guns. just because he is now a sold out celebrity. like they did with De Niro during covid asking his opinion like his opinion should matter. #entertainment
— Spewing It (@spewingit) April 18, 2021
Exactly…Fauci is now a gun expert..he can't even make up his mind on mask no mask and has no clue what covidcreally is but he sure is making millions off this so call pandemic..
— Apollogirl1 (@apollogirl1) April 19, 2021
The next time you interview Fauci ask him as head of the NIH how he helped fund the Wuhan lab of Virology and how ironic in an interview he predicted a pandemic would hit. #FraudFauci

A pair of leftists were caught on camera outside Buckingham Palace carrying champagne bottles in an apparent effort to celebrate the death of Prince Philip before hastily retreating when they realized they were being filmed.
YouTuber Mahyar Tousi spotted the vile behavior, tweeting, “A couple of attention seekers with bottles of champagne being disrespectful outside Buckingham Palace.”

When confronted, one of the individuals said they were engaging in a “celebration of death.”
As these two started to open their Prosecco bottles – presumably intending to pop them over the crowd – I walked over.
They decided to stop opening their bottles and moved on. Wise. pic.twitter.com/VAlSoRoIpr

After being told that they were being recorded, he is then heard to say, “Alright, let’s go.”

Following the announcement of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh, tributes poured forth for Great Britain’s longest ever serving consort, but sick ghouls on the left immediately began cheering his demise.
And so the vileness begins. #PrincePhilip @roisinminh pic.twitter.com/iXOYzVrDMC
— Peter (@Suffragentleman) April 9, 2021
Innumerable Twitter users wasted no time in crudely celebrating the death of the Royal, trashing Prince Philip because he committed the sin decades ago of uttering what today’s hyper-woke society would deem to be “racist” comments.
Meanwhile, police have urged people to stay away from paying respects at Buckingham Palace due to COVID lockdown rules, while there will be no state funeral for Prince Philip for the same reason.
