“Our profession is now the least trusted of all. Something we are doing is clearly not working,” the entrepreneur wrote, adding that “most people believe the media is biased.”

He smells which way the wind is blowing. This man is a snake
All we need do is undo the revision Congress & Obama did to the Smith-Mundt Act and add some teeth marks for rags that promote lies, they will need to fact check themselves and if the article was a headlined on the cover page & if it turns out to be a lie, THEN THE DAMN CORRECTION IS HEADLINED ON THE COVER PAGE! We know WaPo, not endorsing won’t change anything. Bringing some goober from never-Trumper mag to write for them, won’t change what has been done or my mind for many moons to come!

Specifically any gov funded public entity should not legally engage in bias, and ive seen a few indicators that theyve been strong armed behind the scenes to start complying.
That is very perceptive.
