'Journalism at its worst': Washington Post columnist blasts CNN's 'fawning' RNC coverage

Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin accused CNN and other broadcast networks of a "new low" with their coverage of the Republican National Convention (RNC).

In a post on X, Rubin called out CNN on Thursday.

"CNN and other broadcasts have reached a new low in RNC coverage, fawning over 'unity' and 'young Vance' - ignoring we are seeing a fascist party overflowing with criminals plot the downfall of America, a VP who is the single most radical and unqualified in history," Rubin wrote.

"No pushback on lack of information on Trump's injury. It's access journalism at its worst. It's not the media we need to defend democracy," she lamented.

Throughout the Republican convention, CNN has devoted a scant few minutes each night to fact-checking the falsehoods repeated by speakers.
