Liberal WashPost Endorsements: 6 to 1 in Favor of Democrats
Considering the liberal bias of the Washington Post, it's probably not shocking that the papers’s official endorsements for various offices include six Democrats and just one Republican.

On Friday, a Virginia jury determined that Rolling Stone magazine defamed former University of Virginia associate dean of students Nicole Eramo when it published, and then refused to fully retract, its 9,000-word November 2014 "A Rape on Campus" story — and that the magazine did so with malice.
Former NPR CEO: Abandoning Objectivity Is 'Price to Pay' to Stop Trump
A Wednesday column at Vanity Fair by former National Public Radio CEO Ken Stern started on a promising track, but ended up in the same place as the rest of the establishment press: Donald Trump must lose, even if the press has to abandon all semblance of fairness and objectivity to accomplish that task. Stern observed the obviously unbalanced presidential race coverage at the Washington Post with…
New Republic Writer: Trump, Pro-Lifers Prone to Simplistic Thinking
Generally, pro-lifers support Donald Trump not because they believe he’s truly one of them, but because he’s clearly preferable to Hillary Clinton. Sarah Jones, however, claims Trump is “the candidate the pro-life movement deserves.” That’s not meant as a compliment to either Trump or pro-lifers. Jones wrote that “Trump understood that he simply needed to repeat a few pieces of boilerplate in…
CNN Media Reporter's Twitter Rant: Anti-Trump Tweets Aren't Media Bias
CNN media reporter Dylan Byers was seriously unhappy that Washington Post media reporter Paul Farhi wrote a story about how "objective" reporters are unleashing harsh opinions all over Twitter.

Catherine Rampell, Washington Post columnist and former New York Times business reporter, had some no-doubt well-meant advice for the Republican Party in her Monday column: “Want to save the Republican Party?

"Oh, um. Let's see. Um. That would have been onnnn... Uhhhh.... Let's see if I have the date exactly... It would have been onnnnn.... 'Lock her up' would have been onnnn..."
No, I am not indulging in a bit too much of fermented extract of sugar cane. Instead I am directly quoting "conservative" Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin as she stuggled in a most hilarious fumbling way on The O'…

Fox & Friends Among Few Outlets Noting Dems' Poll-Rigging Advice
Among the WikiLeaks documents recently released is a 2008 email with an attachment running to dozens of pages telling Democrats how to "maximize what we get out of our media polling." Fox & Friends covered this story Monday morning. Very few other online and broadcast outlets have. A popular excuse, which even people who should know better are swallowing, is that this advice is for candidates…
WashPost Q: 'How Fascist Is Donald Trump?' A: 'Semi-Fascist'
The Washington Post “Fact Checker” uses a Pinocchio scale to determine how much politicians are lying. In Sunday’s Post, they suggested Donald Trump can be measured in “Benitos” in the article “How fascist is Donald Trump?” On some measurements of fascism, he’s four Mussolinis.

WashPost Loves Nude-Trump Statue, But Nude-Hillary Statue Is 'Sexism'
In August, The Washington Post reported with some glee that an anarchist collective was mocking Donald Trump with a naked-Trump statue. The headline and the article publicized the anarchists. The headline was "These protesters wanted to humiliate ‘Emperor’ Trump. So they took off his clothes."
But is turnabout fair play? When the naked-Hillary statue arrived in Manhattan, the Post put up this…
As Light As Risotto: WashPost Prints Puff Piece on Podesta's Emails
On Friday morning, Fox host Brit Hume tweeted about the John Podesta emails hacked by WikiLeaks: “I never imagined you could do a puff piece about Podesta's emails, but @washingtonpost has done it.” The Post turned to left-wing Style writer Dan Zak to take a light approach. Above a picture of Podesta, the tease was “In the insider’s inbox: Political zingers, recipes, honey-do lists, and UFOs.”…
