Just because the media has a right to be free doesn't mean they aren't staffed by scumfucks. Alot of reporters are borderline sociopathic.

At least with freedom of the press we can have independent news agencies that can do their job right. You have options. With state run media there is only one narrative. And more often than not, the narrative is a flat out lie.

I would say to some of the people in the thread here decrying the free press that you are acting absurdly. With a free press, we can have outlets such as the one the OP linked that can criticize other news outlets (in this case, the WAPost). I would add that without a free press, all we're saved is the occasional drivel we don't care to read, but instead we sacrifice intellectual freedom and freedom of expression, and most importantly, freedom to make criticisms. Do you lot genuinely think that if, say, a state newspaper ran a story you weren't too keen on, that another news outlet would be able to promptly critique it? Nope.
TLDR, WaPost isn't exactly the best newspaper and can have some bad takes, but that's no reason to go into an uproar about the state of our journalistic freedom over this.

Even someone who thinks blackface is funny doesn't deserve to lose their job. They ought to be confronted about it but this is too far. All this because someone smeared their face in dark paint in a style similar to one used to mock people. No one died or was injured and this was in the past but apparently its still a reason to run someone outta town.

Not to mention it was done to jab at Megyn Kelly who said blackface was all right. Ironic humor, yes, albeit extremely tasteless, but not something she needs to have her life ruined over, especially after she admitted to making a mistake, apologized to those who were offended, and then freaking left.

She was using blackface to mock racism and yet it's still racist.
I swear we can't even have comedy anymore.
