April 28th, 2020 5:22 PM
Washington Post journalist Carl Bernstein was never one to keep his liberal bias in check. But now he sounds like every other host on CNN (or MSNBC for that matter).

April 28th, 2020 12:05 PM
The Washington Post on Tuesday buried the latest on the growing controversy swirling around Joe Biden and a sex abuse claim. The paper demoted the story in the print edition to page A-22.
