On a certain level, it was refreshing to see an MSM member admit how he sees his role: as that of a "defense attorney" for Barack Obama. On another level, it was disgusting . . . On today's Morning Joe, during a discussion of the Iran ransom deal in which even State Department spox John Kirby effectively conceded that the deal was a "quid pro quo," the Washington Post's Eugene Robinson said "I feel like I need to ask the sort of question a defense attorney would ask at this point."
Robinson's point was that some had criticized the Obama admin for not obtaining the release of the hostages as part of the Iran nuclear deal. But no one ever suggested that the US pay ransom for the hostages, as President Obama untruthfully denied doing. The notion was that the US should not agree to the deal unless the hostages were released. But that didn't stop Robinson from going all Perry Mason on behalf of the president.

WaPo’s Robinson admits that he’s acting like Obama “defense attorney” on Iran ransom deal.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
quid pro quo, leverage, ransom.
A pole cat is just another word for skunk.
Like that’s a new role for them?
Basically, the equivalent of “full of more sh!t than a Christmas Turkey.”
The Ministry of Propaganda has been covering for the Kenyanesian Usurper since before he got elected.
(I always liked this one...)
It certainly never occurred to Robinson to act like an objective journalist and dig for the facts.
0bama lies to the American people. Again. And his spokesman whore and a msm whore laugh it off. Thoroughly disgusting.
And they are so biased they don’t even SEE their bias!
Presumably he would be super prosecuter had the president had an (R) after his name as this is exactly the kind of thing that gets the reporters hysterically jumping up and down and climbing lamp posts while screeching at volume 11 and tossing poo at each ofher for months if it was an (R)
Illegal a word I used to know the definition of.
THAT’S BECAUSE OF YOUR BIAS TOWARDS HIM
It’s finally reached as much as you can take? Wow...
Robinson proves once again that as a Black, he is Black first, Democrat second and then maybe American, though the last one is always questionable.

Eugene Robinson has defended, and promoted, Obama for the last eight years...what’s new?
NO NO NO NO. The talking points have gone out. It wasn’t a ransom. Obama pulled one over on the Iranians. You see, Obama was so tough he wouldn’t give them their money until they returned the prisoners.
