The Washington Post’s Margaret Sullivan has made it pretty clear that she’s not a serious person to be taken seriously, what with her insistence that left-wing media are actually “the reality-based press.” So not sure what, exactly, she’s trying to achieve with this, other than reiterating that we shouldn’t take her seriously:

Quite an admission that that's the role of journalists. https://t.co/l7WyBg8lCu

That is not the job of a journalist, actually. https://t.co/AgRImXER1D

Is it the job of “the reality-based press”?
I once was told that journalists don’t pick sides.

Even the Onion has a better understanding of journalism than Margaret Sullivan.
Trying to change minds is not the job of journalists. Your bias is showing.

Love seeing the propagandists for the ruling class drop the mask like this ?

GP It's not a journalist's job to change anyone's mind. Journalists should stick to reporting facts, not framing narratives.
This is why America doesn't trust journalists at all. https://t.co/gZDWED0Rlb
