Erik Wemple

Erik Wemple, media critic at the Washington Post, issued a fascinating and revealing mea culpa on October 27, regarding the disgraceful firing in the summer of 2020 of former New York Times editorial page editor James Bennet, after Bennet ran an op-ed by Republican Sen. Tom Cotton that suggested sending in troops to quell the rioting stemming from Black Lives Matter…

Donald Trump sued CNN on Monday for defamation, demanding $475 million in damages. CNN barely noticed it. But Washington Post media blogger Erik Wemple bizarrely claimed there were no "defamatory labels" against Trump, as if he wasn't compared to Hitler....or was painted as more murderous than Hitler! 

Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple angrily went after the Pulitzer Prize folks for fighting with Trump (instead of ignoring him) on why they gave a 2018 prize for reporting on Trump-Russia collusion. Wemple colorfully complained it “amounts to lunatic-appeasement of the high-maintenance sort.”

In a piece posted on Thursday evening, Washington Post media reporter Erik Wemple called out CNN for the liberal news network's refusal to admit that they misinformed viewers in claiming that podcast host Joe Rogan used "horse dewormer" to treat his COVID infection.

The unhinged host accused Carlson of rewriting history and…

Finally, someone went on CNN to call out the hack network for doing the bidding of Democrat Andrew Cuomo, brother of Democratic network host Chris Cuomo. Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple told Brian Stelter on Sunday to his face that the network offered “love-a-thons” with the now-scandal-ridden governor, calling them a “real black eye” for CNN. 

Well, it appeared as though Politico chief political correspondent Tim Alberta was blowing a lot of smoke. Because after the magazine’s editors signed Daily Wire founder and conservative leader Ben Shapiro to guest-write for Politico’s Playbook on Thursday, a large portion of the staff revolted.
