Newsbusters is taking it to WAPO. Highlighting how they are okay with what their Journalists put out there to the public.
The Washington Post, which recently changed its web masthead's motto (https://www.washingtonpost.com/) to "Democracy Dies in Darkness," also promises potential subscribers (http://bizzyblog.com/wp-images/WashPostComeonToSubscribe0317.jpg) "Award-winning content" and "Top political coverage." We've yet to hear from the Post where it would categorize its original description Sunday of destruction perpetrated by far-left environmentalist vandals — as "a daring act of defiance" — at Trump National Golf Club in California.
As of 3 p.m. on Wednesday, MSN.com's carriage (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/video-shows-environmental-activists-defacing-popular-trump-golf-course/ar-AAobgD4) of the Post story still contained the original opening sentence from reporter Peter Holley which describes the vandalism in noble terms, i.e., "A group of environmental activists pulled off a daring act of defiance at one of President Trump’s premier golf courses early Sunday morning":
The original report did not characterize the actions as "vandalism" until its fourth paragraph.
The Post has revised the article's opening at its own website (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/03/12/video-shows-environmental-activists-defacing-popular-trump-golf-course/?utm_term=.ab113c7e1f18) without owning up to what it originally presented:
It may be that "not ... everyone on the left condones this behavior," but one virtually never hears any actual condemnations of actions like these from supposedly responsible leftists. All too often we get tired excuses. Additionally, unlike the treatment afforded even the tiniest examples of misbehavior on the right, establishment press reporters aren't in the faces of Democratic Party and other liberal leaders demanding that they denounce these actions.
How far will Trump assassination chic (http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tom-blumer/2017/03/15/snoop-doggs-video-where-he-shoots-trump-gets-supportive-ap-industry) and anti-Trump property vandalism and obstruction have to go before the left's leaders disown, discredit, and, where applicable, defund those involved?
As to the Post, what's dying are the remnants of its credibility and responsibility.....snip~
