There's no evidence that Donald Trump took a $10 million bribe from Egypt in 2016.
There's certainly enough evidence to put two and two together, which is a lot more than we can say about Joe and Hunter Biden but that hasn't stopped republicans in the house from wasting an entire term on it.
To be clear, no one is saying this difinitively as if it has been proven, the problem is that it is definitely worth looking into but the attorney general that Trump hand picked to act as his personal attorney inexplicably made this disappear. If the shoe were on the other foot you and all your ilk would have collectively lost your minds.
Maybe if WAPO and MSDNC didn't blow their credibility on other "big lies" like grabbing steering wheels, calling troops suckers, grabbing pussies, calling KKK fine people, and injecting bleach....
Yep, exactly. Shortly after Donald Trump started his 2016 campaign he was asked in a private conversation with a reporter why he called the press the enemy of the people. He told her flat out that he does it because that way when they write negative stories about him no one would believe them. Not exactly a ground breaking revelation but jarring to know he admitted it out loud. What's even more jarring is to watch how easily it worked.
Just look at your first example... Grabbing steering wheels? That was a second hand story told by a former Trump aid under oath. Media outlets did exactly what medias outlets are supposed to do with it... They reported on it. To claim that as a reason to doubt their credibility is just stupid. And even worse is adding calling troops suckers to that list because that did happen and the grabbing pussies admission came out of his own mouth.
The other two examples don't support your point either, but that's all besides the point. It's all a demonstration of why you believe the silly things you do. You are impervious to any information that conflicts with your world view and you've created a system by which you could insolate yourself by hand waiving away anything that comes from any of the networks who would dare say something bad about the cult leader.

There was a time when the public demanded media hold government accountable, and rewarded it with support and awards. Nowadays the people have accepted that the media is a friend of the government and an enemy to those who question it.
When Trump took office, his administration hired over a dozen current and former Fox executives and contributors to serve in a wide range of roles.
Trump loves Fox. And he also loves Slovenian foxes.

Face it, Fox is just another face of the government.

You’re confusing news with political commentary
How many former politicians and political operatives work at the Washington Post?
Opinion columns don’t qualify as news or investigative reporting

Praise The Lord!
Several former politicians and political operatives have worked at The Washington Post, often as columnists, analysts, or contributors. While the exact number can vary over time, here are some notable examples:

- Michael Gerson - A former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, Gerson wrote a column for The Washington Post until his death in 2022.
- James Hohmann - A political reporter and writer of the "Daily 202" newsletter, Hohmann has covered politics extensively and provides analysis on political matters.
- Charles Lane - A columnist and editorial writer, Lane has covered various political topics and has a background in reporting.
- Marc Thiessen - A former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, Thiessen writes opinion columns and provides political analysis.
- Ruth Marcus - A columnist and associate editor, Marcus provides political commentary and analysis.

Right, cause Michael Steel, Nicole Wallace, Joe Scarborough, Steve Schmidt etc. were all prominent democrats.
Again, anything to justify hand waiving away anything you don't like. The intellectual dishonesty is striking.

It's troubling enough when former government employees secure top lobbying positions, but when they are paid to distort or suppress the truth regarding the government, it constitutes serious civic malfeasance.

You have an active imagination.
There is nothing suspicious about the idea that news organizations whose job it is to report facts would turn to people with experience in the fields they are reporting on. It's common sense actually. If I want to know more about the economy, I would turn to an economist. If I want to know more about a judicial ruling, I'd turn to an attorney. If I want to know what is happening in the government, I would turn to someone who used to work in the government. Or, if I'm just trying to confirm everything I already believe, I'll turn to a podcaster who has no background in anything.

Or if you want to know what a criminal is doing, ask a criminal (instead of a policeman) because criminals know best and you can trust them.
There was a time before the media became saturated with career criminals where the media actually policed the career douchebags in government.

Take heart that journalism used to be just as partisan, if not more so, in the 1800s. A decent “opinion piece” on this:
TLDR: the 19th century saw some of the most unashamedly partisan news outlets, both before and after the Civil War. With the common cause brought about with the Great Depression, WWII, and the Cold War, journalism became less partisan. Advertising pressure kept outlets more centrist as well through the 70s and 80s.

Gee, that’s deep
- David Ignatius - A columnist and associate editor at The Washington Post, Ignatius has a background in reporting and analysis rather than direct political experience but has extensive knowledge of political affairs.
And? You want a political reporter to be ignorant of politics?
James Hohmann - A political reporter and writer of the "Daily 202" newsletter, Hohmann has covered politics extensively and provides analysis on political matters.
Is there an objection here?

That is NOT happening genius and you have not shown otherwise
David Ignatius is a journalist with deep connections in the deep state intelligence and national security communities, which he has built over decades of reporting and colluding on these topics. His work has given him access to sources within these agencies, enabling him to provide in-depth analysis and coverage of complex issues related to national security, foreign affairs, and intelligence operations.
Ignatius's ties to the intelligence community stem from his professional work as a journalist, which requires cultivating sources and relationships with individuals in these fields to provide accurate and informed reporting. This gives him access to an intelligence network that operates outside of democratic oversight. The extent of this collusion is evident in the absence of thorough investigative reporting on these agencies.
