Most Americans have long lost any delusion that the mainstream press, whether at home or abroad, can possibly remain unbiased … particularly in the era of President Donald Trump.

But one reporter took journalistic browbeating to an extreme during a press conference with Vice President JD Vance, posing a verbose question dripping with animus.

The reporter spent nearly one and a half minutes asking his question, alleging that President Donald Trump “seems to be talking up stocks that he owns, selling them, and enriching himself.”

Vance labeled it a “hell of a question.”

“Let me answer your question here,” he said. “That was a doozy. Before I answer your question, I want to just observe there are different ways to ask a question, okay. You can just ask a question and try to get your answer, or you could do like a speech where you say, ‘You know Mr. Vice President… you know you’re a terrible human being and so is the president and so is the entire cabinet.’ And then I’m like, ‘What’s your question?’ And then your question is, ‘How dare you.’ Come on, man, have a little bit of objectivity in the way that you ask these questions because there were a lot of things in that speech masquerading as a question that didn’t actually get asked,” Vance added.

Vance clarified that President Trump does not trade stocks personally but has independent wealth advisors managing his investments. He also confirmed that the administration supports banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks.
