'The media should probably focus on regaining the trust of the public through honest reporting rather than playing propagandist for the exact people it must hold to account.' -Jack_Elbaum
President Joe Biden made yet another embarrassing gaffe on Wednesday while answering a question regarding Russia’s war in Ukraine. He said Putin"is clearly losing the war in Iraq. He’s losing the war at home, and he has become a bit of a pariah around the world.”
This elision in the caption may be justifiable if the immediately preceding sentence was at least included in the article itself. But, alas, it was also omitted there. In other words, a major publication intentionally did not include a bizarre statement from the president of the United States in an article specifically about an answer he gave that included that very statement.
This is open dishonesty by USA Today, a breach of journalistic ethics, and it came from the White House correspondent at a well-regarded paper. But the results of dishonesty go beyond trust. It also means readers will not be able to see the world as it is. This has terrible consequences when considering politics. It means that those in power get a free pass. And even though the Washington Post is often chided for its self-congratulatory and pretentious slogan “Democracy Dies In Darkness,” it does not change the fact that the statement itself is true.
