BROADCAST BIAS: ‘Public’ media furious Washington Post cut back on anti-Trump crusade

Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier discusses the Washington Post announcing sweeping layoffs and the elimination of their sports department on ‘Special Report.’

The broadcast outlets that were most upset about The Washington Post announcing they were cutting 300 jobs were NPR and PBS. It makes sense, since the journalists at these outlets have no intention of trying to make money. They expect people to hand them endless millions so they can make the kind of "news"/commentary that attempts to change the world in their ideological direction.

They have internalized the trauma of President Donald Trump and the Republicans taking away an annual half-billion dollars in taxpayer subsidies.

On the Saturday before the layoffs, NPR media reporter David Folkenflik explained the view from Post staffers: "They're saying that readers of The Washington Post deserve sophisticated, contextualized reporting that requires a sophisticated, contextualized reporting team." These are buzzwords for liberal bias, the same way Dan Rather always told people CBS gave you "context and perspective."

Weekend anchor Scott Simon asked Folkenflik: "The Washington Post — it's a paper woven into U.S. history. Has it really come to this?" The media reporter naturally thought of taking down President Richard Nixon, as liberals do: "Well, obviously, you think of Watergate and the Pentagon Papers and other historic moments, but they're also doing things at the moment. They are holding power to account."
