FNC’s Wallace Points Out WashPost’s Headline Double Standard

Loading

WaPo joins the NY Times in its over the top bias. Wallace is no Trump lover either. Newsbusters:

During Sunday’s Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace contrasted front-page headlines from The Washington Post the day after Republican Congressman Steve Scalise was shot at an Alexandria, VA baseball field by a Bernie Sanders supporter with The Post‘s headline following the capture of mail bomb mastermind and Trump supporter Cesar Sayoc. Not surprisingly, The Post made sure to emphasize that Sayoc’s political views were mentioned in the headline while the assailant’s political leanings were not mentioned in the Scalise shooting headline.

The Sayoc headline read “Bomb Suspect Outspoken Supporter of Trump.” Wallace said that the headline really surprised him as he expected the headline to read “Suspect Arrested.” A closer inspection of the article finds that it does not even mention that Sayoc was the bombing suspect until the fourth paragraph.

Rather, the first three paragraphs read like a psychological profile of Sayoc, talking about his support for President Trump and all of the stickers on his van plus a quote from one of his former employers; who described him as “crazed.”

On the other hand, the headline after the Scalise shooting read “Congressman Shot in Va,” which clearly didn’t mention shooter James Hodgkinson’s supporter for Bernie Sanders. The front page article did not mention his support for Sanders but footnoted that his social media posts were “highly critical of President Trump and other Republican leaders.”

Of course, on Fox, Wallace is preaching to the choir. Most there KNOW the bias and liberal corruption of the MSM; it’s WHY they are there. I would be nice if other outlets would provide warnings about this level of bias, but of course that would harm the very PURPOSE of the media today… to promote the liberal agenda.

I can dream, I guess.
