The editor of The Plain Dealer in Cleveland told readers that critical coverage of Donald Trump was necessary despite their objections.
“The north star here is truth,” Chris Quinn wrote in a letter from the editor on Saturday. “We tell the truth, even when it offends some of the people who pay us for information.”
“The truth is that Donald Trump undermined faith in our elections in his false bid to retain the presidency,” he continued. “He sparked an insurrection intended to overthrow our government and keep himself in power. No president in our history has done worse. This is not subjective. We all saw it.”
Quinn expressed sympathy with Trump fans who were frustrated that their local news source does not “recognize what they see in [Trump].” But that won’t stop the coverage. “The facts involving Trump are crystal clear, and as news people, we cannot pretend otherwise, as unpopular as that might be with a segment of our readers,” he wrote. “There aren’t two sides to facts. People who say the earth is flat don’t get space on our platforms. If that offends them, so be it.”
Quinn wrote that President Joe Biden’s “mindset” and “success” were up for debate but cited the “false equivalency” by some readers who equate him to Trump.

Many of the rino's helped them hide and obfuscate it too. Yeah, I'm talking to you Mitch.
Lol G1
claims to tell the truth, then lies about everything.
At a minimum selective outrage, since none of these people had an issue with the left occupying the Wisconsin capital for a month or with the BLM or any other leftist riots.
It is an undeniable fact that many states did NOT follow their own election laws during that election! They used covid as an excuse to get away with it in the courts afterwards. But the established fact is still just that a FACT, the laws as written at the time in various states WERE NOT FOLLOWED! I don’t care if the courts said after the fact it was ok, it was NOT ok! And Trump has always had a reasonable argument against how that election was conducted. Woudl the outcome have changed? maybe, maybe not, but it is still a fact that the law was not followed as written.
Jeeze, Orwell sure was prescient, wasn’t he?
“Pravda”
I stopped reading when he said it was an “insurrection”!
That’s not a talking point or a sloganeering, it’s an serious charge if true.but of course it’s value as none of the legal troubles Trump is legally charged with, not one is insurrection or treason.
This guy is not a journalist, just a political hack in service of the DNC.
Nobody reads the PD anymore. It is a thin tabloid-sized shadow of a once serious newspaper, and it costs too much. What this guy says is of no significance. Nothing to get upset about.
Is this showboat a fag or a tranny? He comes off as being not very bright if he actually sees the White House pedophile as his Saviour.
The truth is its all a lie, and they know it
Individuals such as this smoothbrain liar desperately need a brain infusion.
The newspaper editor needs to take the DNC donkey dick out of his mouth before speaking.
Partisan Media Shill and Stooge alert.
This stupid ‘editor’ acts like his comments take great courage to speak. Who’s he kidding?
Maybe he could tell us ONE newspaper in the country that supports Trump. Or one commentator on NPR or PBS. Or ONE on air talent at MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC or any head of any movie company...
A tardy bttt
