On Tuesday, the unending Biden Press Secretary present on MS NOW, The Briefing with Jen Psaki, took up a supposedly disturbing journalistic pattern in Baltimore. Some “MAGA billionaire” is forcing the liberal Democrat governor of Maryland — Wes Moore — to reply questions on his exaggerations of his life story. Psaki wasn’t going to ask Moore about his lies. She was going to underline the right-wing bias downside:
PSAKI: I wish to ask you about another excuse you are within the information proper now, which is your report within the army, and in workplace has come beneath remarkably shut scrutiny by the Baltimore Solar. And on is face, it’s not a foul factor, clearly journalism is vital, and positively public figures needs to be scrutinized.
However what folks ought to know in regards to the bigger context is that the paper is now owned by a Trump ally named David Smith, who’s the manager chairman of the Sinclair Broadcast Group. We have talked in regards to the Sinclair Broadcast Group so much on this present. And in line with new reporting from Semafor, the paper has introduced on a staff of investigators from Sinclair to comb by your report and in a single message to your workers, they even threatened to current their findings to the Secretary of the Military’s workplace. Now, I’ve been, I’ve handled a number of investigative reporters in my time. I’ve by no means heard of something like that earlier than. However clarify for our viewers what is occurring right here.
Jen Psaki and Gov. Wes Moore (D-Md.) lament that the Baltimore Solar was once the “paper of report” (when it was a liberal paper) and now it is hopelessly “proper wing” when it probes Moore’s biographical lies.

Psaki harrumphed briefly about “public figures needs to be scrutinized,” however Democrats aren’t going to be scrutinized on her present, or MS NOW basically. Moore was granted a platform to disparage the “right-wing” paper’s efforts:
WES MOORE: Properly, it is truly a really unhappy day as a result of the Baltimore Solar was once our paper of report. It is now turn out to be the paper of the proper wing.
And I believe we have seen how the readership has continued to say no, however it’s occurred since you’ve had a MAGA billionaire who’s now currying favor for the president of the US and using what was once a prized paper for our area, and now turning it into one thing that’s not way more than proper wing dribble.
, the I am deeply pleased with my army service. I am deeply pleased with the truth that I served with, with, with individuals who I respect. And albeit, nobody within the Military questions. The US Military would not query my integrity. The troopers I serve with do not query my integrity.
It is plain that Moore claimed he obtained a Bronze Star he had not been awarded – The New York Instances, not a right-wing paper, reported that in 2024. If reporting like that’s “questioning his integrity,” some liberal “papers of report” did that. However Moore stored hammering his “right-wing” line, to disgrace voters out of taking this story line severely.
MOORE: However we’re seeing how the proper wing, and these proper wing billionaires like David Smith is then utilizing his wealth to have the ability to manipulate native media and is doing it not simply in Maryland, however that is a canary within the coal mine for issues which might be occurring everywhere in the nation. They usually’re doing it to curry favor for Donald Trump. And so, so it is, it is unlucky that that is the place that that is the place native information for the Baltimore Solar and for the Sinclair properties have occurred. However I do suppose it is an vital warning shot for the remainder of the nation as properly.
Accountability journalism is a “warning shot” and a “canary within the coal mine.”
