AllSides Media Bias Rating: Right
Liberal journalists love to paint the Republicans as opposed to facts—which implies that liberal journalists own the facts and determine who is using them properly.
The Washington Post put this aggressive headline on the front of its Oct. 15 edition: “Campaign takes stand against fact checks: In live settings, Trump aims to let his falsehoods go unchallenged.”
Reporters Ashley Parker and Josh Dawsey begin by noting the Trump campaign has “waged an aggressive campaign against fact-checking in recent months,” pushing the media to “abandon the practice if they hope to interact with Trump.”
