Washington Post
The Washington Post is a major American daily newspaper published in Washington, D.C. It is the most widely circulated newspaper in the Washington metropolitan area and widely read around the country. The newspaper has won 47 Pulitzer Prizes. It employs around 800 journalists and had a 2015 daily circulation of 356,768. Its digital circulation was 1,000,000 in 2018.
Jeff Bezos bought the paper in 2013. Tensions between he and the newsroon have continued; in 2024 and 2025, multiple personnel resigned over the paper's non-endorsement of Kamala Harris and editorial changes advanced by Bezos.
Over the past month, conservative commentators on Fox News repeatedly downplayed and disparaged the criminal charges facing Donald Trump in New York, framing them as a partisan witch hunt intended to tarnish the former president and destroy his chances in the upcoming election.
Yet they struck a righteous tone after a jury convicted Trump on all 34 charges on Thursday. Fox’s most-high-profile pundits expressed disappointment with the verdict but argued that it will ultimately strengthen Trump and unleash his base.
“This is a very sad day for all of us, irrespective of party, irrespective of affiliation,” Fox News host Jeanine Pirro said on the network’s 5 p.m. show. “We have seen the criminal justice weaponized to bring down a candidate for president and a former president.”
