The issues with the Washington Post were more rooted in the writer’s overall” media” than just its editorial section, according to Republican vice presidential candidate J. D. Vance.
In an interview on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Vance claimed that” the Washington Post might as well be the Democratic Party’s advertising channel.” The issue was with the journalism at the Washington Post, according to Hunter Biden, who looks from his laptop and reads a number of stories that almost immediately bottom the left-wing line. It’s not with the commentaries”.

The Post made the following remarks in its endorsement of Trump’s critics in 2016 and 2020:” This is a time for the organization to be making clear its dedication to democratic principles, the rule of law, global alliances, and the risk that Donald Trump poses to them.” A free-for-all news might choose to withdraw from promoting presidents. But this is n’t the correct moment.”
The paper lost more than 250, 00 subscribers in the fallout, according to National Public Radio ( NPR ). Jeff Bezos, the owner of the Washington Post, wrote an op-ed on Monday explaining the rationale behind abstaining from a proper support this season.
” No confused voters in Pennsylvania are going to state,’ I’m going with Newspaper A’s confirmation.’ Nothing,” Bezos wrote”. What do political endorsed candidates basically do is give off impressions of discrimination? A belief of non-independence. Ending them is a philosophical decision, and it’s the proper one.”
Vance told Rogan” I do n’t care, frankly, whether the editorial page endorses Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.”
” Vance said,” I care about whether the editors are lying about Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. And honestly, they’re lying a bit in the bad way about my running girlfriend, and they’re lying a bit in the positive way about Kamala Harris.”
” But what I would like to see from Jeff Bezos is a responsibility to The Washington Post, not just being a Democrat Super PAC,” Vance added. I do n’t give a s**t if he hires a few more conservative columnists. It does n’t matter. What’s important is whether they adhere to any such higher standards in their media.
On Thursday, the Center for American Rights, a Chicago-based non-profit, filed a Federal Election Commission ( FEC ) complaint against the Washington Post over the paper’s ad practices in the final days of the election. The Washington Post is allegedly using illegal promotion to help Harris over Trump, even without the editorial board’s approval.
The Washington Post is investing money in social media ads that only benefit one candidate for president and disparages another, according to the organization’s leader in a media release. The Post needs to come clean and follow the law, because that kind of last-minute saving is no protected by the FEC’s hit deduction.
