Hypocrisy Thrives in Darkness
The Washington Post's one-sided coverage of "a nation of immigrants"
 
By Andrew R. Arthur on March 8, 2018

One of the first things that you find out as a fellow in a think tank is that not everything that you write gets printed. That said, if a media institution is going to hold itself out as an unbiased guardian of democracy, it owes a duty to its readers to print more than one side of an issue of public interest.

The institution in question is the Washington Post, which added the phrase "Democracy Dies in Darkness" to its online masthead shortly after President Trump's inauguration. The rejected op-ed is at the end of this post.
