Barf: CBS Celebrates ‘Non-Partisan’ Post Movie for Celebrating ‘Hero’ Journalists

[See NewsBusters for more.] Surprise! Journalists should stand up to those in power and “question the government.” That’s the lesson learned from the hosts of CBS This Morning after seeing a worshipful new film about the Washington Post. On Wednesday, reporter Jan Crawford talked to two stars of The Post, a film set in 1971 that features “heroes” who stand up to Richard Nixon. Rather ridiculously, Bob Odenkirk, who co-stars in the movie, asserted, “To me, it's a non-partisan film. I don't see why any Republican wouldn't like this movie except if they love Nixon.” In fact, there are almost NO Republicans in The Post and the film is mostly a conversation between the left and the center-left.
