Washington Post columnist attacks paper trying to reach out to 'MAGA readers': 'Logical fallacy'

Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin slammed mainstream media’s attempts to reach out to “MAGA readers" to try and appear neutral after the election.

After what she claims have been multiple examples of the media capitulating to Trump since then, Rubin singled out her own publication for wanting to reach out to Trump voters.

"People ask me all the time, why is the media so mamsy-pamsey? And there are two explanations," Rubin began. "The one is, they are convinced that if they would just move a little bit to the right, all those MAGA readers out there — now, you’ll notice the contradiction in terms, ‘MAGA readers’ — would pick up The Washington Post, and they would have more readers. What is the logical fallacy here? Yes, reader. And there’s nothing that The Washington Post could possibly do that would have those people take out a subscription. But I’m convinced they’re in there someplace."
