The Washington Post's Endorsement Controversy
October 29, 2024

Bill reports on the reaction after the Washington Post refused to endorse Kamala Harris as well as Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein weighed in.

TRANSCRIPT:

O'REILLY: The Washington Post, reliably liberal, everybody knows it. Okay. Jeff Bezos owns it now. Big billionaire Bezos. The Washington Post is losing millions and millions of dollars. So. Bezos goes, you know what? We're not going to have an endorsement this year because he needs some moderate and conservative readers, and they don't have any anymore. That's how far left they went. And then, Woodward and Bernstein, the most famous Washington Post reporters ever broke Watergate. They issued a joint statement. Here it is. "We respect the traditional independence of the editorial page. But this decision, 11 days out from the 2024 presidential election, ignores The Washington Post's own overwhelming reportorial evidence on the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy," unquote. Well, number one, they don't respect the traditional independence of the editorial page because it isn't independent. It's 100% left-wing. No independents there. And number two, Woodward and Bernstein, excellent reporters, by the way, in their prime, are no longer reporters. They're analysts, left-wing analysts. Both of them. Woodward's made tens of millions of dollars on hate Trump books, and Bernstein is a staple at CNN. But you know what? They're entitled to their opinion. I don't hold it against them. I just know what they're doing. But if you're, used to be a reporter and now you're an analyst, right here, you're looking at him and listening to him on the radio. That's okay. Nothing wrong with that.
