It is not exactly news that Washington Post media columnist Margaret Sullivan wants journalists to ditch objectivity. What is new is Sullivan's extreme urgency in begging journalists to reject any sense of professionalism because American democracy is at stake. "It's now or never!" I kid you not.
Sullivan made her all hands on deck Defcon-1 pitch to ditch objectivity based on the supposedly unique emergency caused by the events of January 6 in her inadvertently funny Wednesday column, "Our democracy is under attack. Washington journalists must stop covering it like politics as usual."

Jan 6 was the biggest Nothing Burger in history. A bunch of unarmed tourists walking through a public building, after the police opened the doors and invited them in. One of the tourists got shot by a cop. And the media thinks this is much bigger than the American Civil War.
One of the chiefs of the gaslight media urges other gaslight media outlets to gaslight even more.
RATs are so afraid of Trump.
Two more ‘trespassers’ were arrested yesterday at Piqua, Ohio and Englewood, Ohio.
The DNCMedia ditched objectivity YEARS—DECADES ago.
Liars lie. Propagandist propagandize. Advocates advocate.
In modern journalism, it is all about the narrative, not what happened.
No who, what, where, how and when... Only WHY, from the Leftist worldview.
Policeman kills a Jan 6 protester? The story is how awful those protesters were.
Policeman kills black criminal? The story is how racist the police—and therefore America, is.
Flip whatever they say upside down.
Democracy is at stake because they never intend for us to have a free and fair election again.
What “fair-minded” coverage is this Sullivan loon referring to?
Her head is really going to explode when the REAL shtf.
When we get REALLY pissed, they will know it.
Did she say that with a straight face or did she stifle a laugh? The U.S. is being dismantled by a bunch of thieving blockheads!
It drives me nuts that I’ve heard no conservative thought leader state the direct comparison. If this is the greatest threat to democracy since the civil war because the “insurrections” “breached” the Capitol, what about March 1, 1954 when Puerto Rican terrorists opened fire from the House gallery while the House was in session, shooting five congressmen?
Wha chew smokin? Day gotta tight lid on dat.
And even if it does, she won't accept the truth.
Yep. See Tagline.
The wrong institution was “attacked” Jan 6. The media, not Congress is the enemy of the people.
And by the way, we are NOT A DEMOCRACY.
