A Jan. 30 opinion piece by former Washington Post Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr. unintentionally shows why journalism rates among the least trusted trades in the nation.
It also shows why the Washington Post’s news pages, which for years have been less balanced than its liberal but thoughtful opinion section, so long have amounted to molten garbage piles of left-wing agitprop.The headline accurately captured the oxymoronic depths of Downie’s column: “Newsrooms that move beyond ‘objectivity’ can build trust.
The column then devolves further into the left-wing’s obsessive field of nightmares against which reporters must battle: “persistent racism and white nationalism … the treatment of LGBTQ+ people; income inequality … the causes and effects of climate change; voting rights and election inequality; and even the very survival of our democracy.”
Downie’s solution, of course, is more “diversity” as the Left defines it, complete with “affinity groups or caucuses of staff members — for women, Blacks, Latinos, Asian Americans and LGBTQ+ people,” with “personal identities” considered so central that newspapers now publish “first-person essays on the front page” about the struggles of their particular “communit[ies].”
The problem here, though, is not that Downie ignores white male identities but that he believes “identities” create truth in news rather than that readers can be trusted to decide “truth” on their own once provided with objective facts and unbiased context.
