WaPo columnist complains media is 'obsessed with not offending Republican readers'

A columnist for the Washington Post bemoaned how the rise of the publication Politico led to a media to be too tough on Democrats and too lenient towards Republicans.

More specifically, Bacon claimed that the Politico method was "obsessed with not offending Republican readers."   "Politico largely embraced those prevailing orthodoxies of political journalism, particularly in its early days —it was Beltway-focused, obsessed with not offending Republican readers, sometimes resembled sports coverage and its leading reporters were nearly all White. It was in many ways just a faster, more interesting version of how politics had long been covered. And that really worked," Bacon wrote.
