8:38Now PlayingThe Washington Post appears to have given up on that whole journalism thing. Now they’re just making stuff up. They published a story about Bernie supporters harassing female journalists, alongside a picture of protesters throwing an egg at a Trump supporter. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola (ThinkTank), hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"The first photo is from 6 days ago. That's a Trump supporter giving a big "Fuck You" to protestors. The second photo on is the Washington Post lying and saying she's a journalist being harassed by Bernie Sanders supporters - calling it "the latest episode." It's all a lie.
In today's age of social media, the photo chosen by news outlets to promote a story can sometimes make or break whether the story goes viral or falls flat on its face. At the Daily News at every major news outlet in America, we have dedicated staff members who obsess over the photos, headlines, and social media descriptions of each story. It's just where we are right now.
That's why what the Washington Post did this week is pretty damn disgusting.
In an article entitled "The Bernie Bros are out in full force harassing female reporters," the photo used to promote it was both jarring and effective. A woman is surrounded by a swarm of angry men. She looks defeated and maybe even afraid. She appears to have egg dripping from her face and hair.
For the past few days reporters from the Washington Post and prominent supporters of Hillary Clinton have shared the article, anchored by this alarming photo, all over Twitter and Facebook.
So that woman must be a journalist and the people harassing her "in full force" must be "Bernie Bros" right?
Wrong.
Six days ago that woman's photo was everywhere. She was a Donald Trump supporter at a rally in San Jose.”*
