Washington Post columnist Perry Bacon Jr. on Sunday argued the news media “should move on from” caring about attracting just as many Republicans as Democrats to read or view their reporting. Picking up on a column he wrote last week, Bacon contended the “core mission” of the media is to present “facts” and “an evidence-based view of the world.”

He then proceeded to show how his ideas of facts overlaps with the priorities of liberals, as he cited how “we in the media are biased in terms of we support vaccines. We in the media hire LGBT employees. We are biased against bans against trans or gay people.” So, “we can be honest about those biases and sort of we are in favor of a multi-racial democracy” and thus “of course, the media” are “against authoritarian people like Trump.”
