On Wednesday, the Washington Post published an article titled, “Why Donald Trump’s diet is bad for America’s health.” That’s right — amid journalists’ sustained hysteria over President Trump’s efforts to discredit the mainstream news media, the mainstream news media is critiquing his diet.
To be clear, the article was amusing and I would never argue it shouldn’t have been written or deserved to be censored. But it’s just not necessary for a mainstream outlet to publish an article that goes after the president for his diet while working to convince the country that it’s fully committed to rescuing our precious democracy from the “darkness.” Editors at the Post should have passed and suggested it be submitted to Slate or Salon or another progressive publication.
