“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

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.

“It’s an incredible way of putting it,” responded Williams.

Instead of holding her hands up and taking the L, Rivas absurdly doubled down.

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.

Joe Biden Makes a Fool of Himself in Yet Another Bizarre Interview

One of the most awkward exchanges ever.

Joe Biden was humiliated again after a bizarre MSNBC interview during which he stumbled over his words and sounded semi-incoherant.

“In the history of live television interviews there has never been one this awkward, not ever,” commented one Twitter user who posted the clip.

During the interview, Biden complained that Trump wasn’t acting like a president in his response to the coronavirus outbreak, despite a new Gallup poll showing 60 per cent of Americans approve of Trump’s actions.

“Why doesn’t he just act like a president?” asked Biden before an awkward pause. “That’s a stupid way to say it,” he added as the host of the show talked over him.

“I really wish he….” said Biden before pausing again and looking down then saying “sorry.”

“Go ahead” said host Nicolle Wallace, to which Biden responded, “No, probably best I don’t.”

“I just can’t figure the guy, it’s like watching a yo-yo,” said Biden before yet another pause after which he added, “I shouldn’t have said it that way, it’s like watching…”

Wallace then began nervously laughing while Biden shook his head and rolled his eyes.

Despite Biden’s bizarre behavior, viewers noted how obsequious Wallace acted towards him, constantly smiling in a servile manner.

NY Times Journo Humiliated Over Bad Bloomberg Math Cries Racism

Time to play the victim card.

The New York Times journalist who was humiliated for erroneously claiming Mike Bloomberg’s $500 million ad buy could have been used to give every American $1 million dollars has re-emerged to complain that her embarrassment was the fault of a “racist Twitter mob.”

Mara Gay responded to Bloomberg dropping out of the presidential race last week by claiming that the money he spent on campaign commercials could have made every American a millionaire with lots of spare change.

“Actually with the money he spent he could have given every American a million dollars,” Gay told MSNBC’s Brian Williams, who immediately agreed.

With math obviously not being Gay’s 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.

After being left red-faced, Gay re-emerged today with a New York Times opinion piece whining about racism.

“A racist Twitter mob came for me over a trivial math mistake. I’m not going anywhere,” she tweeted.

In the article, Gay complains about receiving a “deluge of hate.”

“Unfortunately, quite a few Americans can tell you what it’s like to be the target of a Twitter mob over a gaffe,” she writes. “My great sin was trivial, harmless, silly. What’s it like when people are trying to cancel you for a math mistake? Weird, and maddening and painful.”

“But she’s not unique for getting tweets making fun of her,” responds Barrett Wilson. “Every public figure gets that. People who put themselves out there, on tv, in writing, on radio, on twitter, get hate from trolls who want attention and don’t have enough nerve, drive, or talent to express themselves in a constructive way.

Indeed, everyone who finds themselves in the crosshairs of a media spectacle, whether they be black, white, conservative or liberal, can expect to receive a deluge of hateful messages on social media.

The only difference is that people on the left always react to being embarrassed by crying “bullying and harassment,” and the media promptly rushes to their defense. Conservatives don’t enjoy that privilege.

Mara; No matter how many mean messages from racists you receive on Twitter, your math is still terrible.

“If you’re going to go on TV and talk to millions of people about economics, learn to do some super basic math in your head. And if you screw up, and people notice, it’s because it’s obvious, not because they’re racist,” writes Wilson.

Respondents on Twitter weren’t buying Gay’s excuses.

Hate Hoax: Black Woman Carves “White Pride” Into Sidewalk Outside Black-Owned Gym

The female Jussie Smollett.

Another hate crime hoax was exposed after the words “white pride” were carved into the sidewalk outside a black-owned gym in Tennessee – by a black woman.

Gym owner Derrick Carson arrived at the Johnson City branch of DC Fitness at 5am in the morning to discover the scrawl.

He immediately alerted police but upon reviewing security camera footage, the culprit turned out to be a black woman.

41-year-old Mahagany Teague was subsequently arrested for vandalism and held on $1,000 bail.

“Mahagany’s name may be an attempt to spell “mahogany,” which could be used to describe her pigmentation,” comments Dave Blount, who maintains a ‘hate hoax list’ of similar incidents.

There have been innumerable examples of hate crime hoaxes across America in recent years, all of which feed into the media’s hysterical narrative that white supremacy is on the rise once again.

The most egregious example was of course Jussie Smollett, who was indicted by a grand jury for staging a racist violent attack on himself and blaming it on Trump supporters.
