Thiessen has an article on the WashPost opinion page(s) about once a week. I read the Post online; the comments on his articles are brutal.

After graduating from college, Thiessen moved to DC where he remains.

His first job was with the lobbying firm Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly -- Paul Manafort and Roger Stone – which tells you where this is headed.

Both Manafort and Stone were convicted of felonies post-Jan 6 and both were pardoned by Trump, who was one of the firm's first clients.

From 1995 to 2001, he served as spokesman and senior policy advisor to Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman and Klansman in a suit, Jesse Helms.

He joined the first Bush administration as a speechwriter for McNamara and later for Bush.

Thiessen has been a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution and is also a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

Thiessen has been a WashPost columnist since 2010. In his columns, he criticizes anything a Democrat does and is enthralled with Trump.

And would you guess he is also as a Fox commentator?

Following the Great Depression, there was massive upheaval in the news media because Americans felt betrayed by the fourth estate. We need a massive change again. A fascist adjacent president sits in the Oval Office while the media focuses on tan suits, Hillary's emails and Kamala's hysterical nd ridiculous statements about Trump locking people up and starting wars.

The pundits need to get punted.

They won't stop a subscription and refund the in used portion. I guess Belos needs the money. I don't know why anyone pays them anymore.

The crime syndicate even has the major newspapers doing PR for them.
