Sarah Huckabee Sanders Thinks The Media Should Take 'Opinion' Out Of The News—And The Irony Is Rich

Sarah Huckabee Sanders Thinks The Media Should Take 'Opinion' Out Of The News—And The Irony Is Rich
Fox Business

Former Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders had eyes rolling after saying the media needs to take "the opinion out of the news" during an interview on the Fox Business channel.


During an appearance on Varney & Co. on Wednesday, Sanders, who has seamlessly shifted into her new role as a Fox News contributor, slammed the media after The New York Times published a controversial book excerpt in their Opinion section regarding new sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

When asked if she thought The Times might be "reborn" because of the scandal, Sanders responded:

"I think the all of the media needs to take a good, hard look at how they put the news out. It's gotten so much where there's no process, there's no accountability, no check and balance."

She then called out both CNN and Politico for having "major gaffes in their coverage" in the past week.

Sanders then lamented the current state of news coverage, saying:

"I think that we have to start taking so much of the opinion out of the news. It's a good news story if you can read it and you have no idea which side the journalist is on, and it's very hard to find that.
"There's a big difference between commentators and news and we have blended those so that there is no difference anymore and we've got to go back where those are separate."

For many, Sanders's demand rang a bit hollow considering her tenure as Press Secretary was consumed with blatant lying to help cover for President Trump. Not to mention that she was making these statements on Fox News, which is well-known for its conservative bias.

And they called her out for it.






And while Sanders makes a somewhat valid point about bias in journalism, she's not exactly the right person to voice it.



And, to be honest, it's not really in her best interest if she'd like to keep her current job.





But, if she insists...

'One Million Moms' Calls For Dove Boycott Over Hair Care Ad Featuring Trans Woman

The vehemently transphobic conservative group One Million Moms (OMM)—an arm of the Christian fundamentalist nonprofit American Family Association (AFA)—called for a boycott of Dove products after the company featured a transgender woman in an advertisement for their Damage Therapy Intensive Repair Conditioner.

The ad garnered attention after it was shared by the social media account Libs of TikTok—run by the anti-LGBTQ+ conservative Chaya Raichik—which described the ad as an example of "another woke company trying to erase women."

Alyssa Milano Shares Poignant Tribute To 'TV Husband' Julian McMahon After His Death At 56
