This week the Washington Post’s Philip Bump said it loud and clear during a podcast interview: “Journalism” is absolutely dead, and if you help point that out, he’ll walk out on you:
Lmfao Washington Post “reporter” Phillip Bump gets up and leaves a podcast when confronted with evidence Joe Biden received money from Hunter’s business dealings.

Glenn Greenwald has a short thread highlighting Bump’s interview as a great example of what the corporate media is all about, and that’s protecting Democrats, starting with President Biden and his family:
If want you want to see what corporate media really is, I can’t recommend enough this @noam_dworman interview of WashPost “national columnist” @pbump about Bump’s vigorous, tireless, limitless, unconstrained advocacy for Joe Biden on the Hunter scandals:https://t.co/wGA8zpZIwl

That interview had it all (and not in a good way for anybody who wishes for the return of actual journalism):
There are no words I can use that would do justice to what this video shows about Bump and corporate media employees generally.
He’s a deeply dishonest, arrogant, weaselly, snide, condescending asshole, yet passionately devoted to the Dem Party and Biden — ie, corporate media.

The whole thing is like this. Every time Bump is confronted with evidence incriminating of Joe Biden, he gets super defensive, raises his already high-pitched and shrill voice a couple of octaves higher, and arrogantly implies that only he sees Truth:https://t.co/Ph8OCrC0oR

“And I’m not going to look for it” was the most #journalism2023 thing ever.
