Washington Post media columnist Margaret Sullivan suggested over the weekend that journalists should not be preoccupied with objectivity with their reporting as the country enters what she describes as the “Trump Unbound” era.

Sullivan began her column on Sunday by acknowledging the “adjustments” the media made under President Trump like labeling “a lie a lie” and offering fact-checking in real time, but sounded the alarm that such adaptions are not enough following Trump’s acquittal in the impeachment trial.

Conservative NewsBusters contributing writer PJ Gladnick slammed her “rant,” declaring the country has “entered a Media Unhinged era.”

“Obviously, our media do not fear being charged with bias. They overflow with bias. Sullivan’s just unhappy that it’s just not working. Trump is rising in the polls, even as the press doubles down on the negativity. They’ve yelled themselves hoarse, and now they’re staring at the growing prospect of Four More Years,” Gladnick wrote.

Sullivan was widely criticized in December over a column urging journalists to “reach the undecided” on impeachment, which polling showed support for the Democratic-led attempt to remove the president was under water.
