It is no mystery why the president chose Whitaker, an obscure and ill-qualified official never confirmed by the Senate, which many legal experts believe makes the appointment itself unconstitutional. Trump chose him to protect himself, his family and his close associates from the special counsel’s investigation and other investigations within the Justice Department.

There is no indication that Whitaker has likewise consulted with ethics officials, as his past public statements, associations and the manner of his appointment make clear that he should have no role in overseeing the special counsel’s investigation or any matter related to the president and his campaign.

It’s highly likely that Trump elevated and appointed Whitaker in the first place because of his open hostility to the special counsel. Whitaker has not only been publicly critical of Mueller but also suggested starving his office of funds and suggested that the special counsel should be prohibited from investigating the president’s finances. If the Russians possess financial leverage over the president — and there are credible allegations they may have laundered money through the Trump businesses — it would be negligent to our national security not to find out.

The Washington Post could not get any more biased than this.
They are no longer a Newspaper. They are merely a Democrat propagandist rag.

It’s really funny you idiots think that media sources are supposed to be impartial.
If you can name one source that has no bias..... well it’s not going to happen so there is no point in going any further.

So because there is none you believe it is well and good that they show their bias and you think it's good.
You are right, no sense in going any further.

So your handlers have dispensed with that silly, "Just because they're biased doesn't mean they can't do their jobs" canard?

You aren’t very good at reading comprehension


All media is bias. They still do their jobs, they report the news with their slant.

Judges, umpires, and referees are supposed to be impartial.

When they report plain, basic lies, that's not bias.

Imagine Trump announces something.

One outlet reports: "A tired looking President Trump today announced a thing." That's bias.

Another outlet reports: "An upbeat President Trump announced yet another good thing." That's bias.

Another outlet reports: "Trump didn't announce a single thing today, because he's a lazy loser." That's NOT bias.

From the American Press Association...

1. JOURNALISM’S FIRST OBLIGATION IS TO THE TRUTH
2. ITS FIRST LOYALTY IS TO CITIZENS
3. ITS ESSENCE IS DISCIPLINE OF VERIFICATION
4. ITS PRACTITIONERS MUST MAINTAIN AN INDEPENDENCE FROM THOSE THEY COVER
5. IT MUST SERVE AS AN INDEPENDENT MONITOR OF POWER
6. IT MUST PROVIDE A FORUM FOR PUBLIC CRITICISM AND COMPROMISE

I just grabbed the first six, and they break every one of them on a daily basis.

So much for Ethics or Principle in journalism.
