The darkness around Martin Baron

The slogan on the masthead of the <i>Washington Post</i>, where Martin Baron was Editor-in-Chief for many years, is "Democracy Dies in Darkness".

Yet key facts about Mr. Baron are shrouded in the deepest darkness:

his sexual orientation and his family status, i.e., whether he has a spouse and children.

I would agree that for most people doing jobs, these facts are irrelevant to their work

But Martin Baron was no ordinary worker.

His decisions influenced how millions viewed the world; the very information that they received.

Notably, the many <i>WaPo</i> stories that sought to normalize gender insanity.

Surely the public has the right to know the sexual orientation of a person who has the power to lead opinions that he did

Media defines "star power", bestows it selectively

<h3>Royal family missing the star power of Harry and Meghan</h3>

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/royal-family-harry-meghan-star-power/

A new statue of Princess Diana, to be unveiled at Kensington Palace in London on Thursday (what would have been Diana's 60th birthday), will honor a woman whose charisma, compassion and rebellious streak revolutionized royal affairs. 

... 

Correspondent Holly Williams asked, "How difficult is it for Harry to make these return visits to the U.K. following the interview that he and Meghan did with Oprah?"

"Oh, it's incredibly difficult," said Ayesha Hazarika, a journalist and former political advisor. "They are like pariahs in this country. They are treated abysmally by the press. They are criticized left, right and center."

Hazarika said the royal family has been damaged by the couple's allegations of racism: "There's a lot of younger people, a lot of people in Black and Asian communities, that look at that. They took that very, very personally. They felt really ashamed of the royal family and quite embarrassed about Britain."

She said the royal family is desperately missing Harry and Meghan's star power.

[Comment: The media can find people to express every opinion under the sun. 

It is the media's choice as to which they report on, and thus bestow credibility 

(in the eyes of those who trust and/or respect the media) on.]

Yet another sexual misconduct charge from WaPo

There are several topics WaPo absolutely loves:

1) Accusing white police officers of misconduct against blacks.

Are a disproportionate number of number of the killings of white police officers due to black murderers?

WaPo could not care less.

Such would not further their agenda of demonizing whites for racism.

2) Coming up with charges of "sexual misconduct" that can be tied to conservatives, especially conservative Christians.

The latest WaPo story

https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2021/06/11/people-praise-barrett-sexual-misconduct/

certainly fits that bill to a tee.

Just look at the URL:

people-praise-barrett-sexual-misconduct/

Talk about group guilt, and guilt-by-association.

(Here is a version of the Post's story which is not behind a paywall:

https://www.rawstory.com/people-of-praise/    )

Did one person who worked for People of Praise do something wrong?

If so, don't blame the individual, blame the group.

And if Justice Barrett was once part of that group, somehow link her to the alleged misconduct.

For comparison, we know there are plenty of black people who have committed real, provable (i.e., not he-said-she-said situations), violent, injury-causing crimes.

In some cases, the black criminals were followers of certain black leaders.

Is it generally reported that the person committing such a crime is black?

Hell no. To report such a fact accurately and honestly would be "racism", or "promoting stereotypes".

And tying the offense to a specific leader or a specific statement, well, how can you prove that?

That WaPo is out to demonize white conservative heterosexual Christians should be beyond dispute.
