Fact-Checking the Fact Checker: Debating Media Bias About Trump and Biden with Glenn Kessler

07 Aug 2025

Description

Today, Mark Halperin sits down for an unmissable conversation with Glenn Kessler, former Editor and Chief Writer of The Washington Post’s influential “The Fact Checker.” They revisit some of Kessler’s most famous – and infamous – Pinocchio ratings, unpack his recent admission about the paper’s addiction to its liberal readers, and debate the paper’s failure to engage a broader audience. The discussion dives into the media’s mishandling of coverage of Joe Biden’s decline and how it fueled the ongoing media reckoning. Plus, Kessler offers a stunning justification for his controversial Biden “deepfake” report and completely denies that the Post’s newsroom is biased against Donald Trump. But first, Mark’s reported monologue examining the case of a high-profile media veteran finally admitting what he wouldn’t say while inside his legacy newsroom: that liberal media bias and ignorance of Trump’s America are real.Birch Gold: Text NEXT to 989898 and get your free info kit on goldAmerican Financing: Call American Financing today to find out how customers are saving an avg of $800/mo. 866-886-2026 or visit https://www.AmericanFinancing.net/Next  - NMLS 182334, https://nmlsconsumeraccess.org
