ABC, CBS, NBC Boast About China’s Military Parade after Trashing U.S. Army Parade

The liberal media of today was still that same media that bashed America’s troops and supported our enemies during Vietnam. There was an updated version of that mentality visible during the Tuesday morning newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC when all three of them hyped China’s military parade marking the end of WWII; when, just a few months ago, they all condemned the U.S.’s military parade celebrating the Army’s 250^th birthday. They also hyped how this was a powerful flex against United States on many levels.

“China's president hosting Russia’s Vladimir Putin and India's prime minister. It could have major ramifications for the U.S., especially with India frustrated over President Trump's new tariffs,” announced ABC co-host Robin Roberts on Good Morning America.

ABC chief foreign affairs correspondent Ian Pannell touted how, “Over 20 world leaders attending a giant military parade Wednesday, including Iran and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. Xi Jinping promoting this idea of China as a reliable, stable partner; trying to contrast with the Trump administration's often chaotic and punitive style.” He also highlighted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s attendance and trade talks with China.

“Now, these countries are taking on the U.S. on different issues. India making it clear they are not happy with the Trump's punishing tariffs,” hyped ABC chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce.

Over on CBS Mornings, co-host Nate Burleson crowed:

China is celebrating the anniversary of victory in World War II with the leaders of Russia and other nations, but not the United States or its most important allies. It follows a summit that showed nearly all of U.S. rivals lining up on the same side. North Korea's dictator Kim Jong-un who rarely leaves the country joined the celebrations this morning.

CBS foreign correspondent Anna Coren hyped up the parade as a showcase of China’s “moment of glory” and a chance to show off their “newest military hardware.” She also pointed out that it was a great time for China to build alliances and show they could be a better partner than the U.S.:

Well, that message was also conveyed over the weekend at the regional security summit in Tianjin, northern China where XI hosted more than 20 world leaders, including Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. At this week's events, Xi is not only asserting China as a stable and reliable partner, he's also showing off the country's alliances and its might and power.

In the news brief on NBC’s Today, co-host Craig Melvin reported:

Chinese leader XI Jinping welcoming Russian President Vladimir Putin as, quote, “an old friend” this morning as the two held as series talks. Relations between the two countries have deepened in recent years, especially following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Today's meeting comes a day after both attended a summit in northern China along with India's prime minister. Tomorrow, they will attend a Chinese military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. North Korea's Kim Jong-Un is scheduled to attend.

But just three months ago, all three of the broadcast networks denounced and smeared the military parade that marked the U.S. Army’s 250^th birthday.

On ABC News program The View, co-host Sara Haines clutched her pearls and condemned seeing our soldiers:

I can't be the only one when I think of military parades, I think of Russia, I think of North Korea. I have these visuals of people saluting and doing things, and that's just not what I think of when I think of the U.S. … a parade that harkens World War II propaganda and just throw the money that way? I can't keep up with all of it.

Fill-in moderator Joy Behar even floated a conspiracy theory casting doubt on the coincidence that the Army and President Trump shared a birthday.

CBS Morning co-host Gayle King juxtaposed the Army’s birthday with the so-called “No Kings” rallies:

If you were paying attention to the news this weekend, and we hope you were, you were getting a very different image of how Americans are feeling about the state of our country. Hundreds of anti-Trump rallies around the country brought out millions of Americans. In the meantime, the President was outside the White House. He was presiding over a military parade on the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary, and it also happened to be his 79th birthday.

NBC cut out the fluff and simply smeared the Army as taking part in a “spectacle” that’s “typically seen in places like North Korea and Russia.”

While they all boasted about how this was China showing off its military might to potential partners and flexing against the U.S., they failed to note that China had already failed to come to the aid of a partner when the U.S. bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities.
