WashPost's Margaret Sullivan: Media Still Far Too Neutral with 'Trump Unbound'

[pjcomix]

President Trump's acquittal in the Senate is driving some of the media's worst Trump haters into a tizzy. The media's bias has been intensely negative -- and yet the problem is apparently it's not intensely negative enough.

In The Washington Post, where each morning their front page screeches of how "Democracy dies in darkness," media columnist Margaret Sullivan is bizarrely urging the media to drop its "neutrality at all costs" model and go all out in opposition to Trump .

Call it ‘fairness first’: WaPo writer urges anti-Trump media to abandon all neutrality, but spin it better
February 24, 2020 | Samantha Chang | Print Article
 

In a shockingly oblivious show of sanctimony and self-delusion, a Washington Post blogger urged everyone in the media to be even harsher in their coverage of President Trump and to push their anti-Trump opinions as objective news.

Fox News analyst Brit Hume — a frequent Trump critic — was shocked at WaPo “media columnist” Margaret Sullivan and her call to “abandon neutrality” when covering Trump. Why? Because the media were never “neutral” in covering the President to begin with.

Hume called Sullivan’s exhortation to “abandon neutrality” a “complete misnomer.”
