Do Black Lives Matter to Leftists? Black Female Police Chief Driven Out by ‘Woke’ Seattle Politicians

Seattle is so very woke , it was able to force its black female police chief into retirement after months of attacks and undermining by the mayor and city council .
It was a long time coming for Police Chief Carmen Best , who was told to stand down as occupiers took over a portion of Seattle ’ s Capitol Hill neighborhood , including a police precinct , during the CHAZ/CHOP debacle that ended after nearly a month of shootings , murders and destruction .
Even as the city was deeply embroiled in the chaotic uprising following the death of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in late May , the Seattle City Council attempted to hamstring Best ’ s police officers by prohibiting nonlethal methods for breaking up riots such as pepper spray .
Then on Aug. 1 , Black Lives Matter protesters descended on Best ’ s home , coming through the neighborhood with vehicles , carrying duffel bags of unknown contents and intimidating neighbors .
But it seems the final nail in her career ’ s coffin came Monday when the Seattle City Council voted to slash the police budget by nearly $ 4 million , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ effective Sept. 2 , according to The Seattle Times .

Seattle is so very woke, it was able to force its black female police chief into retirement after months of attacks and undermining by the mayor and city council.
It was a long time coming for Police Chief Carmen Best, who was told to stand down as occupiers took over a portion of Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, including a police precinct, during the CHAZ/CHOP debacle that ended after nearly a month of shootings, murders and destruction.
Even as the city was deeply embroiled in the chaotic uprising following the death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody in late May, the Seattle City Council attempted to hamstring Best’s police officers by prohibiting nonlethal methods for breaking up riots such as pepper spray.
Then on Aug. 1, Black Lives Matter protesters descended on Best’s home, coming through the neighborhood with vehicles, carrying duffel bags of unknown contents and intimidating neighbors.
But it seems the final nail in her career’s coffin came Monday when the Seattle City Council voted to slash the police budget by nearly $4 million, shortly after which she announced her retirement effective Sept. 2, according to The Seattle Times.
Best had served for nearly 30 years on the police force, becoming interim chief in early 2018.
She was initially passed over for the permanent position until an outpouring of public support convinced Mayor Jenny Durkan to confirm her, with the city council voting unanimously in favor of Best.
Times have certainly changed for Best’s relationship with officials, however, and no doubt the events of the last couple months forced her hand, although the 55-year-old chief didn’t specifically say so.
“This was a difficult decision for me, but when it’s time, it’s time,” Best wrote in a statement.
Do you think woke leftists will ever admit to what a mess they created for Chief Best and the citizens of Seattle? Yes No

Despite all of the obstacles she threw in Best’s way, the Democratic mayor — who had likened the violent, illegal occupation of her city to a “block party” and dubbed this the “summer of love” as many neighborhoods still smoldered — publicly wished her well.
“Her grit, grace and integrity have inspired me and made our city better,” Durkan wrote in a statement of her own. “These last months, I knew Chief Best was the person to lead our city through this challenging time, to reimagine policing and community safety.”
“For almost 30 years,” Durkan continued, “Chief Carmen Best has worked to serve and protect the people of Seattle.”
“She rose through the ranks during a time when doing so was unprecedented and extraordinary for a woman – particularly a Black woman,” the mayor wrote. “She defied institutional barriers and always sought to lift others up along the way.”
Durkan apparently missed the irony as she and her woke city council forced Best out as they cut police funding and all but disarmed law enforcement in the name of ending racism.
It didn’t escape radio host Jason Rantz of KTTH-AM, however.
“This news can’t be overstated: a black female police chief in a profession dominated by white men is essentially being driven out by ‘woke’ Seattle politicians,” Rantz tweeted Tuesday.

Best certainly ascended through the ranks, smashing the glass ceiling to become police chief as the people she would serve championed her cause.
Yet she became the victim of the woke crowd, which is crusading against law enforcement ostensibly in the name of protecting black lives.
However, the Black Lives Matter movement has repeatedly stood idly by while black lives are ruined or outright ended.
The seemingly endless riots have destroyed many major cities, with countless black-owned businesses and neighborhoods destroyed in the name of what, improving black lives?
BLM seeks to defund the police, already causing skyrocketing murder rates and plunging distressed cities into utter bedlam.
And now, the movement has helped to force the retirement of a competent, dedicated and — until five minutes ago — popular black female police chief in the name of their cause.
Perhaps it was because Best’s success destroyed the narrative that the paternalistic left set up for black people, that without the help of the white saviors on the left, they’re unable to be anything but poor, marginalized and unable to think for themselves.
At the very least, it seems Best’s life and livelihood don’t matter — despite the sloganeering — nor do the victims of all races who will go unaided as Seattle police are down $4 million and one stellar chief.
Black people and other minorities will continue to suffer as cities are destroyed and burned into poverty; as citizens are terrorized and killed; and as streets are left to criminals after police departments have been defunded and disbanded.
All of this comes courtesy of leftists who simultaneously pretend to be stalwart allies while implementing policies that will make streets unsafe for black people, all before returning to their insulated suburban safe havens and gated communities.
Only the most sadistic racists in the world could come up with a scheme like that — in other words, woke white liberals.

It’s hard to understand how wild some places are. With our phones, electricity, close neighbors and internet, it’s nearly impossible to realize there are places with none of those things unless you’ve experienced them firsthand.
Country singer Kane Brown has now experienced that phenomenon. A new owner of 30 acres nestled among 3,000, he wanted to check out his property one evening but got a little more of an adventure than he bargained for.
“Someone help! I’m lost….?… ALL JOKES ASIDE,” he posted on Facebook after the ordeal, according to People.
“The real story is I moved into a new house. I own 30 acres of 3000 around me,” he went on. “I told my wife I wanted to go check out the property I’ll be 30 minutes.”
Brown had gone out with his friend and friend’s girlfriend. He’d left his phone back at the truck, and his friend’s phone only had seven percent battery.
Thirty minutes stretched into three hours, and it was getting dark. It got cold, down to 40 degrees, and started raining. They tried to get back home but the GPS kept navigating them over terrain they couldn’t cross.
At his wit’s end, and after exhausting their own abilities, Brown turned to a neighbor and friend, musician Ryan Upchurch — but they still weren’t out of the woods yet.
“So I called my last resort,” he wrote. “He has four other friends riding around in a canam and they start getting shot at.”
“My buddy’s girl who has asthma started then freaking out. We HAD to get her out. So we call the cops.”
“The cops arrive and hear the gun shots and think we are shooting at them. We yell at them and tell them we are not armed and made it out.”
Upchurch took to social media to explain his friend’s predicament and cover for him.
“OK, look,” he said in the video. “I see all the memes and stuff about Kane Brown. Yeah, they’re kinda funny. But here’s the fact of the matter, man. You weren’t there. I was there.”
“Kane got lost in the woods, on property that he freshly just got to, doesn’t really know that well. He goes out riding, gets lost, it gets dark, he can’t find his way out.”
He went on to explain that even though he and his brother were able to track Brown and his friends down, they then ran out of gas and lost phone service, rendering them helpless as well.
“When you’re in pitch black and your eyeballs are open and you can’t even see your hand in front of your face, and you’re on thousands of acres that you’ve never even been on before, it’s kinda hard to find your way out. Just sayin’,” he explained.
All is well that ends well, and Brown is back home, perhaps with a healthy respect for the wild unknown, but hopefully also with a renewed — and more informed — sense of adventure.

westernjournal--2020-08-11--Teacher Worries Parents Might Find Out What He’s Teaching Children – What Is He Hiding?

The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted the education experience for children across the country , and maybe that ’ s not a bad thing if you ’ re the kind of person who sees sliver linings .
School is an essential tool for kids to learn more than curriculum ; there ’ s no question about that .
For some kids , school provides them with much-needed meals and a structure they might not be receiving at home .
And of course learning to properly socialize is essential with regard to helping kids to grow up and become well-rounded adults .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ indoctrination , where leftist college students graduate and bring their politics to schools as teachers , and then they subtly push their views on defenseless children .
TRENDING : Biden Gets Ultimatum from Prominent Black Leaders : Pick a Black Woman VP or Lose We know at least one teacher is bothered by virtual learning , as classroom activities conducted online now can bring unexpected or unwanted audience members , some of whom are parents .
In one volley of Twitter posts , Matthew R. Kay , a teacher at the Science Leadership @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Philadelphia , demonstrated why so many parents have reservations about sending their children to schools .
“ So , this fall , virtual class discussions will have many potential spectators – parents , siblings , etc .
– in the same room .
We ’ ll never be quite sure who is overhearing the discourse .
What does this do for our equity/inclusion work ?
” Kay wrote on Twitter .
“ How much have students depended on the ( somewhat ) secure barriers of our physical classrooms to encourage vulnerability ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ version of “ what happens here stays here ” to help this ?
” he continued .
“ While conversations about race are in my wheelhouse , and remain a concern in this no-walls environment – I am most intrigued by the damage that ‘ helicopter/snowplow ’ parents can do in honest conversations about gender/sexuality… ” “ And while ‘ conservative ’ parents are my chief concern – I know that the damage can come from the left too .
If we are engaged in the messy work of destabilizing a kids racism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do we want their classmates ’ parents piling on ?
” he concluded .
A biography for Kay describes him as a “ proud product of Philadelphia ’ s public schools and a founding teacher at Science Leadership Academy.
” Kay also speaks to middle and high school students and “ deeply believes in the importance of earnest and mindful classroom conversations about race.
” If you ’ re grappling to make sense of Kay ’ s statements , as I initially did , he explained he is bothered that he no longer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to indoctrinate kids away from listening ears .
He has since made his account private , but his tweets are archived here if you ’ d like to see them .
Kay sees himself as a person qualified to speak to students about gender , sexuality , racism , homophobia and transphobia .
He also is bothered by the fact that he can not take a Las Vegas approach to his injection of identity politics into the curriculum .
“ What Happens Here , Stays Here , ” is a slogan used to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drinking in the desert .
What possibly could be going on in a classroom that Kay and others would need that mantra for privacy away from parents ?
Even worse , Kay wasn ’ t the only teacher to complain on Twitter about losing the element of classroom privacy , along with how it relates to the teacher ’ s intention to curb discussions of social issues .
Other teachers chimed in online , but their posts are gone after they were savaged for publicly expressing their annoyance that they no longer can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can be seen with Kay ’ s archived posts .
It ’ s clear the idea of parental oversight is quite distressing to some teachers .
Of course , this highlights one of the major cultural differences between liberals and conservatives with regard to education .
Conservative parents are more inclined to be involved in their child ’ s learning experience and to be upset when their kids are being fed far-left propaganda about gender pronouns and the belief systems of neo-Marxist revolutionaries .
Parents should have a right to hear what is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ distance learning is convenient , as far as that ’ s concerned .
As a personal testament to validate Kay and other teachers , when my children were sent home to participate in distance learning in March , I listened to every word uttered by their teachers with the volume jacked up so loud I could hear it from across the house .
I no longer had to quiz my kids about what they were being taught , as it was being broadcast in my home .
All parents should have that right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in jobs where it is convenient to eavesdrop from a quiet corner of the house .
Your child ’ s education should be transparent .
If teachers fear the wrath of a parent who might overhear what they are telling a child , it ’ s a pretty good indication something isn ’ t right , and teachers know it .
With so many teachers demanding reforms and special considerations before schools reopen , now is as good of a time as any for parents to demand classroom transparency and reforms .
While @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s educational institutions , generally speaking , are broken .
Just look at Portland , Oregon .
Before leftist rioters were rioting , they probably were school children at some point , before they were failed by educators and their parents .
While money , or lack thereof , is a fine scapegoat for what ’ s gone wrong , it probably isn ’ t a stretch to assume that American kids are getting a bad education , and bad teachers play a role in that .
Benjamin Franklin didn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Philadelphia .
Franklin also didn ’ t have a man named Matthew Kay wasting his time by asking him to spend crucial classroom time learning about the pitfalls of transphobia .

But schools arguably have become centers for indoctrination, where leftist college students graduate and bring their politics to schools as teachers, and then they subtly push their views on defenseless children.

Their responses can be seen with Kay’s archived posts.
Their public conversation drew quite a backlash:
Yes. Modern public education is more about social justice and critical race theory. I say this as a school district admin. We have already lost our public schools, plain and simple. Leftists are in complete control. — Streets’ Corner (@StreetsCorner1) August 8, 2020
“Be careful because parents may hear what we’re teaching their children,” is a really bad look for a public school teacher. — Jeremiah Albers (@JeremiahAlbers) August 8, 2020
They’re openly admitting that they don’t want their parents interfering with their indoctrination — Swagula (@BackertheHacker) August 8, 2020
Yes, I am an educator as well, and this is frightening. Sadly, it is not surprising. I am happy that parents might take notice now. — Art Is Life (@artislife14) August 9, 2020
It’s clear the idea of parental oversight is quite distressing to some teachers.
Of course, this highlights one of the major cultural differences between liberals and conservatives with regard to education.
Conservative parents are more inclined to be involved in their child’s learning experience and to be upset when their kids are being fed far-left propaganda about gender pronouns and the belief systems of neo-Marxist revolutionaries.
Parents should have a right to hear what is being told to their children, so distance learning is convenient, as far as that’s concerned.
As a personal testament to validate Kay and other teachers, when my children were sent home to participate in distance learning in March, I listened to every word uttered by their teachers with the volume jacked up so loud I could hear it from across the house.
I no longer had to quiz my kids about what they were being taught, as it was being broadcast in my home.
All parents should have that right — even those who might not work in jobs where it is convenient to eavesdrop from a quiet corner of the house.
Your child’s education should be transparent.
If teachers fear the wrath of a parent who might overhear what they are telling a child, it’s a pretty good indication something isn’t right, and teachers know it.
With so many teachers demanding reforms and special considerations before schools reopen, now is as good of a time as any for parents to demand classroom transparency and reforms.
While there are many wonderful teachers, America’s educational institutions, generally speaking, are broken.
Just look at Portland, Oregon.
Before leftist rioters were rioting, they probably were school children at some point, before they were failed by educators and their parents.
While money, or lack thereof, is a fine scapegoat for what’s gone wrong, it probably isn’t a stretch to assume that American kids are getting a bad education, and bad teachers play a role in that.
Benjamin Franklin didn’t learn to think critically on an iPad in Philadelphia.
Franklin also didn’t have a man named Matthew Kay wasting his time by asking him to spend crucial classroom time learning about the pitfalls of transphobia.

The president of the United States has never been known to hold his tongue, especially when it comes to athletes disrespecting the American flag and national anthem.

While the league almost universally condemns the perceived inequality that supposedly runs rampant in America’s institutions, the majority of players, coaches and league officials have remained silent when it comes to the very real and provable human rights abuses being perpetrated by the country of China, one of the league’s most lucrative partners.

Travis then brought up the NBA’s hypocrisy. While NBA coaches, players and officials are more than happy to fire back at Trump and criticize so-called “systemic racism” in America, they won’t do the same to the Chinese Communist Party.
“The NBA is taking billions of dollars from China. There are all sorts of human rights violations going on in China right now and none of the players and none of the coaches will say a word about that,” Travis said.

Trump didn’t hold back in his response.

Not only has the NBA ignored the many crimes committed by the communist Chinese government, a recent report also suggest that the league may, in fact, be complicit.
According to an ESPN report published late last month, young players are being abused in the NBA’s China academies. The report also alleged that coaches had repeatedly warned league officials about the abuse, yet nothing was done to stop it.
One American coach went as far as to describe the project as “a sweat camp for athletes.” Another coach described the atmosphere as akin to “World War II Germany.”
Nonetheless, the NBA and its players have remained largely silent on China, instead opting to criticize a country that has offered more freedoms to more people than any other nation in the history of the planet.
On of the most vocal NBA players when it comes to criticizing America is none other than Lakers superstar LeBron James.
At the end of his interview with Trump, Travis asked the president to answer the one debate that has captured the minds of basketball fans for years — who is the better all-time player: Michael Jordan or James?
The president answered without skipping a beat.
“Michael Jordan. Well, I’ve seen them both. Michael Jordan is. Plus he wasn’t political so people like him better,” Trump said.

Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best announced she will step down from her position on Sept. 2 following criticism of the police department and Monday’s city council votes to reduce the size and scope of the law enforcement agency.
“This was a difficult decision for me, but when it’s time, it’s time,” Best wrote Monday night in a letter addressing the department.
Best, who served in the Seattle Police Department for almost 30 years, became interim chief in 2018, The Seattle Times reported.
She was also one of the first black female police chiefs in the country, according to KIRO-FM.
“I am confident the department will make it through these difficult times,” Best wrote.
“You truly are the best police department in the country, and please trust me when I say, the vast majority of people in Seattle support you and appreciate you.”
Best’s announcement came after the city council voted Monday to rebalance Seattle’s 2020 budget by shrinking the police department by up to 100 officers through layoffs and attrition, and cutting the wages of the department’s command staff between September and December, according to The Seattle Times.
Democratic Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan and Best opposed some of Monday’s decisions and asked the council to hold off on changes that could be hard to carry out quickly.
Council member Teresa Mosqueda said before the vote that the council needed to act “with urgency” and work toward the demands of many Black Lives Matter protesters to eventually defund the police department by 50 percent.

In an emailed statement in response to Best’s resignation, Black Lives Matter Seattle-King County lamented the police chief’s decision.
“It does nothing to further our fight for authentic police accountability and the safety of Black lives, that the first Black woman to hold the position of Chief of Police of the Seattle Police Department has been forced out of her job by the Seattle City Council. Racism is racism,” the group said in a statement.
“We demand the Seattle City Council stop prioritizing performative action that solely suggests the appearance of change. We demand transparency and accountability for the series of actions and inactions that led to Chief Best’s resignation. And we demand a successor that serves Black Lives.”

When President Donald Trump floated the idea on Monday of delivering his nomination speech from the hallowed grounds of the Gettysburg battlefield , liberals went over to the attack immediately .
The New York Times , for instance , tried to raise questions about the “ ethical conundrums ” of a political speech on federal property ( while the same article dismissed Barack Obama ’ s 2012 campaign videos in the White House ) .
But celebrity liberal Rob Reiner — the man millions of Americans will forever know as “ Meathead ” — took the screeching to its next @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the victorious Union armies in July 1863 — the turning point of the Civil War and the death knell of the slaveholding Confederacy — Reiner tried to spin Gettysburg as a site for Trump to court “ white supremacists , ” the Democratic boogeymen of 2020 .
“ Trump brilliantly narrows down the location of his acceptance speech , ” Reiner wrote in a Twitter post .
“ Either break yet another law and do it at the WH , or do it at Gettysburg and celebrate your devotion to White Supremacy.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Prominent Black Leaders : Pick a Black Woman VP or Lose While there really aren ’ t many places in the United States that are ideal for celebrating a “ devotion to White Supremacy , ” the battlefield that sealed the fate of the Democratic Party ’ s Confederate States of America is definitely not one of them .

For conservatives and other sane Americans , Lincoln holds a revered place in the country ’ s pantheon .
For the current generation of woke progressives , however , he ’ s a target of scorn .
At 73 , Reiner has lived considerably longer than most of the leftist stormtroopers currently trying to destroy the country ’ s history , and he really ought to know better than to try to paint Gettysburg as some kind of symbol of malignant racism ( at least on the winning side ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attempted to explain that he was aware of who won at Gettysburg , but tried to argue that made it a perfect place for a white supremacy “ dog whistle.
” Assuming that ’ s true , his original post was at the least inartful — and nonsense on stilts to boot .
Going to the site of one of the Union ’ s greatest victories over the South is hardly a way to salute the defeated rebels .
And the “ dog whistle ” argument is what Democrats use to claim Republicans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Only liberals can hear dog whistles , but they ’ re sure they ’ re there . )
RELATED : 'Kindergarten Cop ' Canceled After Author Compares It to KKK Film 'Birth of a Nation' And it ’ s crucial to remember — yet again — that it was the Democratic Party Reiner loves so much that drove the South ’ s secession : Republicans saved the Union , ended slavery , and ensured that “ government of the people , by the people , for the people ” did not perish from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of course , lost their war .
Given his age and his background as the son of one of the country ’ s greatest entertainers , it ’ s a good chance that Reiner actually does know who won at Gettysburg .
But does anyone want to bet that the ignorant mobs who are on his political end of the spectrum have that much knowledge of American history ?
Critics can carp about the propriety of an inarguably political speech being delivered from federal land — politics is politics .
( Again , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s making actual campaign videos from the White House itself . )
But pretending that a Trump speech at Gettysburg would be some kind of salute to “ white supremacy ” — even of the “ dog whistle ” variety that only liberals can hear — is a step too far .
“ The world will little note , nor long remember what we say here , ” Lincoln said in his November 1863 address .
As it turned out , that was one of the most fantastically wrong predictions in American history @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Address are literally etched in stone in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington , and written indelibly into the hearts and minds of millions of Lincoln ’ s countrymen to this day .
Reiner , however , better hope the world forgets his nonsense tweet .
Being remembered as “ Meathead ” should be enough for anyone .

While there really aren’t many places in the United States that are ideal for celebrating a “devotion to White Supremacy,” the battlefield that sealed the fate of the Democratic Party’s Confederate States of America is definitely not one of them.
It’s not only where the forces of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee were defeated, it’s where Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president, delivered an address that is part of the secular scripture of the United States.

At 73, Reiner has lived considerably longer than most of the leftist stormtroopers currently trying to destroy the country’s history, and he really ought to know better than to try to paint Gettysburg as some kind of symbol of malignant racism (at least on the winning side).
In a follow-up post, Reiner attempted to explain that he was aware of who won at Gettysburg, but tried to argue that made it a perfect place for a white supremacy “dog whistle.”
Assuming that’s true, his original post was at the least inartful — and nonsense on stilts to boot. Going to the site of one of the Union’s greatest victories over the South is hardly a way to salute the defeated rebels.
And the “dog whistle” argument is what Democrats use to claim Republicans said something they never did. (Only liberals can hear dog whistles, but they’re sure they’re there.)
And it’s crucial to remember — yet again — that it was the Democratic Party Reiner loves so much that drove the South’s secession:
Republicans saved the Union, ended slavery, and ensured that “government of the people, by the people, for the people” did not perish from the earth.
And Southern Democrats, of course, lost their war.
Twitter users savaged Reiner’s tweet:
Liberals don’t know history & they’re desperately trying to erase every remainder of it…mostly because they’re almost always, without exception, on the wrong side of it. — Politically Stripped ™ ??? (@politstrip) August 11, 2020
How – even in your pea-sized Leftist mind, is the sitetrumpliberal
where the North won the pivotal battle that led to freeing the slaves/where Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address that said ‘all men are created equal’ possibly a site synonymous with ‘White Supremacy’? — John Betts (@JohnFromCranber) August 11, 2020
WTF, Rob? I mean, I don’t agree with you on much of anything politically but suggesting that Gettysburg represents “White Supremacy” has to be in the top 10 most ignorant things you’ve ever said. — Ross Kaminsky (@Rossputin) August 11, 2020
You desperately need a history lesson. — Burgess Owens (@BurgessOwens) August 11, 2020

Many people who wear eyeglasses have , at one point or another , discovered their glasses are missing .

They were actually wearing them the entire time .

In attempting to smear news organizations which are not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Committee , Stelter sought to find one which is biased against President Donald Trump .
That ’ s a laughable concept , as every serious person who ’ s staked a claim in the direction of their country ’ s future knows Trump has few allies , aside from his base and the voters who opted to take a chance on his long-shot candidacy in 2016 .
On Sunday , Stelter asked a panel of other so-called journalists to discuss with him the impact of conservative media , which has grown in influence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mainstream media ’ s leftist activism .
“ Negative partisanship , ” Stelter said before opening up the panel discussion , “ is happening in all directions , but it is especially extreme , especially vitriolic on the right , directed at Joe Biden .

Stelter , either unaware of his bias , suffering through some fit of self-denial , or attempting to preserve a facade that he is a journalist , was at that very moment the face of the media company which he asked about .
He was the answer to his own problem .
