Day After Airing $5.2M Ad, WaPo Buried Assault Claim Against VA Dem Justin Fairfax
2019-02-07
[Breitbart] During Sunday’s Super Bowl the far-left Washington Post spent $5.2 million to run a self-aggrandizing ad about the importance of capital "J" Journalism.

Big movie star Tom Hanks closes the ad with this: "There’s someone to gather the facts, to bring you the story ‐ no matter the cost because knowing empowers us. Knowing helps us decide. Knowing keeps us free."

Knowing, y’all. Knowing.

You see, that’s why journalism is so gosh-darned important ‐ it’s journalists letting the rest of us know about stuff we need to know about.

It’s the knowing that helps us decide and the knowing that keeps us free, and without journalism and journalists letting us know we wouldn’t know how to decide or know how to be free, so thank the Good Lord for the journalists who let us in on the know, ya’ know?

But less than 24 hours after this pompous ad aired, we learned that the ad was missing a key piece of information about the stuff journalism and its journalists don’t want us to know, and of course I am speaking about that which is harmful to a Democrat.

Case in point: the sexual assault allegation against Justin Fairfax, the lieutenant governor of Virginia ‐ a Democrat.

#2  the WaPo did get the scoop on the Texas bar application of Fauxahauntus which had her handwritten "Native American" on it - so at least give them that
