If we are sticking to soundbites I can simply respond with "Reality has a liberal bias". When facts aling with a policy idea this makes the policy good, not the facts wrong (and we should applaud both parties when they do it). I do not read every single article in WaPo but their front page and push notifications are most of the time fact based. |

That party hated Bernie Sanders (who is plenty “liberal”[1]) nearly as much as it hated Trump, and both were covered very negatively by the Washington Post.
I don’t know why you assume I’m criticizing the Post from a right-wing perspective. Perhaps you are too steeped in the two-sided U.S. political culture, where disliking one party must mean liking the other?
By the way, reporting objectively correct facts does not make a publication unbiased or serious. Even if everything TMZ reports about celebrity relationships is true, do you consider them a serious news source? Deciding which facts to emphasize is just as important as telling the truth.
[1] To head off in advance any off-topic responses: this is true regardless of whether you mean “liberal” in the American or European sense.
