ERICKSON: Democracy Dies Due To Journalists’ Lies

Erick Erickson

“Democracy Dies in the Darkness” reads the Washington Post‘s motto. They brought it back out after Donald Trump was elected President. It featured prominently on their website yesterday above a video showing President Trump shaking hands with the First Lady of Poland. The headline, should you choose not to watch the video, noted that the First Lady of Poland snubbed President Trump by refusing to shake his hand. Who are you going to believe, the headline writer or video of the actual event?

One of CNN’s reporters complained that the president had the audacity to take questions in Poland from a reporter who had applied for a job with the Trump Administration. Please pay no attention to the actual number of reporters who went to work for Barack Obama and those who did not but chose to carry his water for him.
