Marty Baron, the leftist extremist who drove it Washington Post In the “democracy dies in the dark” gap between 2013 and 2021, the corporate media engaged in covering up the clearly evident mental and physical decline of former President Joe Biden has finally admitted.
Peter F. Award for Ethics in Journalism at New York University During an address at the Collier Awards, Barron said this in the midst of his attacks on President Trump:
Each of us can probably point to other examples where we went astray. The point to think about here is this: Did we live up to our truth-seeking mission at the beginning of this decade as we watched Joe Biden struggle cognitively and physically while holding the most powerful office on earth? I don’t believe we did. Were some of us reluctant to support Donald Trump’s campaign and aggressively research his intellectual acuity and physical health for fear of alienating loyal readers?Viewers and listeners? My guess is yes. If so, will he be the one moral breakdown In our profession? again, I would say yes. one thing is for sure: Our credibility has been ruined. [emphasis added]
This was a helluva lot more than “shy”[ing] Far from aggressively pursuing your intellectual acumen.” The media actively engaged in the “Biden Is Sharp A Tech Hoax” and then demonized anyone who questioned the apparent fallibility of the presidential autopen.
No word on whether or not RespectDe Marty Baron has or will address his role in much of this:
This is typical of corrupt media. These serial liars do this all the time. After it becomes important, they probably accept it, and then promise a change they have no intention of making.
One thing we all have to thank Marty for is his invaluable assistance in destroying Washington Post. His corrupt jihad against Trump during the president’s first term was rivaled only by CNN, and just as it turned CNN into a ratings ghost town and national punchline, Barron’s 24/7 Russia Collusion hoaxing and the like, have destroyed it. Post What it is today is essentially a leftist blog.
In view of the baron’s dishonest and immoral rule, Post Hundreds of millions of dollars have been lost, resulting in hundreds of layoffs and disgrace and disgrace to any normal person who believes in the ideals of truth and journalism.
Those of us who hate legacy media owe a lot to Marty. What did he do to aid and abet the destruction Washington Post It was truly priceless.
