Ex-Washington Post columnist slams paper, accuses journalists of enabling 'authoritarian regime'
Fox News
Ex-Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin doubled down on criticisms of her former employer, alleging that the Washington Post was trying to ingratiate themselves with Trump.
Rubin, a former conservative writer who announced during Trump's first administration that she was no longer a conservative, recently quit the paper after its owner, Jeff Bezos, stopped the editorial board from endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.
"You also see these billionaires giving money to the President of the United States. And yucking it up there on the dais. That is not how an independent free press behaves. Their obligation is to the public, not to themselves, to advance their own businesses, and certainly not to ingratiate themselves with Donald Trump," Rubin added.
