Washington Post Illustrates What the Media Will Do to Hurt Trump
by Brian McNicoll on September 23, 2019
There is a lot of back-and-forth among left- and right-leaning media about the accuracy and bias of the other side. But over the weekend, a Washington Post story appeared that so blatantly substituted opinion for fact that Mollie Hemingway of the Federalist devoted an entire piece to debunking it.
Actually, Hemingway focused on one paragraph in the story “Trump’s Ukraine call reveals a president convinced of his own invincibility†by Philip Rucker, Robert Costa and Rachael Bade.
“Trump’s sense of himself as above the law has been reinforced throughout his time in office,†the paragraph read. “As detailed in the Mueller report, he received help from a foreign adversary in 2016 without legal consequence. He sought to thwart the Russia investigation and possibly obstruct justice without consequence. Through the government, he has earned profits for his businesses without consequence. He has blocked Congress’ ability to conduct oversight without consequence.â€
