WashPost Media Columnist: We Haven't Obsessed Over 1/6 or Trump Enough

The idea of objectivity or balance or fairness in reporting has taken a beating since Donald Trump arrived in national politics. What’s dominant today is the media elite constantly encouraging each other that their product is never activist enough.

Washington Post media columnist Margaret Sullivan was thumping the tub with a new vigor on Monday under the headline “If American democracy is going to survive, the media must make this crucial shift.” The crucial shift? More activism. More overt grabbing readers and viewers by the lapels and scaring them. "Shout it from the rooftops," she insisted.

"That American democracy is teetering is unquestionable. Jan. 6 is every day now, in the words of a recent New York Times editorial," she said. So the media isn't obsessing over Trump and 1/6? Really? Sullivan had to admit: "To be sure, even some of the most studiously neutral of news organizations are doing important journalism on this subject."

Yes, American democratic processes are teetering - but it's because the democrat party and the left are doing their damnedest to destroy it.

Do we need sports casters to use telestrators and slow motion playback to analyze every single frame of footage?

BOOM! Bear mace to the face!  WHACK! Hockey stick to the knee!  THUD! Fire extinguisher to the face!  PLOP! Poop on the desk!  Pat, this is one helluva Antifa false flag operation.  I haven't seen this many Confederate flags since I watched the Dukes of Hazzard.

They have pysch meds for anxiety and OCD.  Dems should try some.
