She apparently does not understand that the media's deliberate failure to cover "both sides" is precisely why people believe the election was stolen - because they (quite rightly) believe the media wouldn't report vote theft even if it occured. So if she says "they have no evidence", the answer is "because you won't report it."

The suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop was the irrefutable giveaway. They simply won't report facts that hurt their narrative.

Impartiality and balance in ‘journalism’ was already gone and been gone for a decade plus.

I just had a Reuben sandwich which had a higher IQ than psycho Jennifer.

Hold the pickle.

That’s between her and Mr. Picklehead Stelter.

Oops, sorry! I meant that holding the pickle was between her and Jeffrey Toobin.

So we’re going back to the days where you had a “Democrat” paper and a “Republican” paper.

I wouldn’t mind it, but the Democrats have NO INTENTION to allow an opposition voice.

The Wapo is way late on this one. In July of 2016 the New York Times made its declaration that it had to give up its “impartiality” to save the country from Trump.

These people actually believe their own lies.

Trump has broken these people. People who went to school and thought be making a difference…. All just diminished into pawns of corporate media propaganda.

Rubins is definitely a strong contender for the 2022 Leni Reifenstahl Award.

As a contrarian, I loudly call for an end to Jennifer Rubin

“Media objectivity died decades ago”

I am not sure it ever existed—even if it they made a good faith effort to go there.

This is because every human being has prejudices and preconceptions in their thinking—and it is impossible to keep those from influencing what is covered and how it is covered.

We would be far better off if reporters and editors acknowledged/disclosed those biases instead of trying to fake “objectivity”.

If they hate white males and want to steal from them and/or kill them—tell us—the truth—up front.

Remember the “highly respected” /spit Lester Holt back in March 2021?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

NBC News anchor Lester Holt received praise from liberal media figures after saying reporters don’t need to hear both sides of a story before determining the “truth.” “I think it’s become clear that fairness is overrated ... the idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we find ourselves in,” Holt said on Tuesday night while accepting an award at the 45th Murrow Symposium.

++++++++++++++=

Lester Holt is scum

Yep...we need to start suing these folks. There is such a thing as Class-action lawsuits that can be brought against defamers. And now we can claim injury and pain because people on the left are actually attacking conservatives..in the street, in the news and in the courts, called lawfare.

“In what way, precisely, has the MSD NOT been “overt advocates” against conservatives and the Republiican Party, for say, the last 4-5 decades?”

Did I ever say it hasn’t? No, I never did.

Are you assuming facts not in evidence?

I like Reuben sandwiches. A little neighborhood tavern I used to frequent before the Covid shutdown killed it, was known for its Reubens.

You misinterpreted my post and/or I failed to communicate clearly. I was scorning the WaPo for implying they were anything but overtly in the bag for the Dems. I had no intention of being critical of you in any way.

"If this is what ‘journalists’ REALLY THINK, it’s time to put an end to their First Amendment protections."

Excellent point.

Unfortunately we don’t have at least two newspapers in each city like we used to, one paper tended to be more conservative, so you had a choice.
