Washington Post

This year for Christmas The Washington Post is getting a rosy movie named after itself. The Post film, due out Dec. 22, dramatizes the paper’s 1971 decision to publish the Pentagon Papers which revealed the White House had been lying about the Vietnam War. The film was produced by Participant Media, a media company funded by left-leaning donors that often creates left-wing films.

In Sunday’s Washington Post, the bragging newspaper couldn’t just run an article on the new “fact-based” movie about its Seventies heyday. The Post gang of movie critics made a list of the ten best Journalism Movies and recruited journalists to tout them. The purplest prose about heroic journalistic activists came from NBC’s Andrea Mitchell touting the myth-making movie about CBS News called Good…

Talk about self love. Washington Post journalists want you to know that they’re great and that you should see a new film promoting the paper’s publication of the Pentagon Papers in the 1970s. Over three days, The Post devoted 3,375 words and three articles to touting The Post.

On Friday, Fox News's Tucker Carlson interviewed Stephen F. Cohen, a contributing editor at The Nation. Cohen sharply criticized coverage at the Washington Post and the New York Times, and more generally stated that he has "never seen media malpractice" like the establishment press's year-long effort to breathe life into what he insists has been a completely ginned-up claim that Russia tried to…

What is the matter with these people? This has been discussed elsewhere, but with more of the same nonsense since the subject of one of the latest presidential tweets will not go away, let’s continue. Here is the now-famous tweet. (Actually, there are now a ton and a half of famous Trump tweets but this is one of the latest:

At the request of readers, The Washington Post finally analyzed late-night ABC host Jimmy Kimmel’s latest toddler-toting tirade against Republicans, which occurred on his Monday show. Glenn Kessler, the Post’s resident “fact-checker” took him to task on his column December 13, and shot down Kimmel’s hyper-partisan claims about the Republican tax bill, as false.

The Washington Post reported on its own reporter’s Fake News on Saturday night, but they left something important out as they huffed that President Trump calling for Dave Weigel to be fired. Back in 2010, Weigel resigned (with a push) from the Post when “JournoList” emails came out showing profound hatred for conservatives...the ones the Post assigned him to cover.

On Monday’s NBC Today, correspondent Peter Alexander briefly noted that “the President ratchets up his war on the news media” with tweets criticizing liberal press for a recent series of high-profile mistakes and fake news stories. However, the reporter was more interested in turning the topic into an excuse to slam Trump for his own “misleading claims.”

The Washington Post still hasn't gotten over the 2016 election. On the front of the Style section on Saturday, romance novelist Lisa Kleypas pleaded with Hillary Clinton not to bad-mouth romance novels, since she is a "romance novel heroine." On the front page of the Outlook section on Sunday, the Post published some Fake News it liked: imagining how Trump would kill millions of Americans in a…

Liberal reporters are scandalized by what they say is President Trump’s effort to “discredit” and “undermine” special counsel Robert Mueller, worried that it could presage an attempt to “remove Mueller, or end his investigation.” But when President Bill Clinton was being investigated by Ken Starr, journalists applauded Democratic and White House attacks on the independent counsel, and frequently…

Oscar winner Tom Hanks tried to heal the nation in wake of Donald Trump’s stunning presidential victory. Most celebrities predicted the end of the world, or similar calamities, after Nov. 8, 2016. Not Hanks. The Forrest Gump star struck a more reassuring tone during a public appearance days after the election. Here’s what he told The Hollywood Reporter at the time.

Des Bieler of The Washington Post is one of the few sports media making an issue of three NFL protesters who were nominated for the league's Walter Payton Man of the Year award. Nonetheless, he did not cite or quote anyone opposed to the protests which are seen by many Americans as disrespectful to the men and women who wore the military uniform.

The Washington Post enjoys playing the game “Heads We Win, Tails You Lose” when anonymous sources lead journalists into looking stupid. The Post, among others, exposed how CNN reported an embarrassingly inaccurate story about Donald Trump Jr. and Wikileaks, using anonymous sources. When Trump Jr. responded by speculating on those sources, the Post wrote a snippy article (and tweets) on how Donald…

The headline in the Washington Post commuter tabloid Express was “Did this man just lick your chair?” That’s because gay filmmaker John Waters joked that he believes in a “Christmas curse” on the conservative relatives. When they leave the room, you lick their chair so they "soften politically."
