Latest Project Veritas Video Exposes Washington Post's Anti-Trump Agenda

(New York) In newly released undercover video, Washington Post National Security Correspondent Dan Lamothe and Director of Product Joey Marburger speak to the paper’s hidden agenda. Evidently, covering Trump the way they do is good business, even though it’s fake news. 
Marburger admits that Trump coverage is important to their success, even if the coverage isn’t always faithful: “It’s hard to get away from him [Trump], and people find it draining, but we think about that. If Trump just disappeared tomorrow, our traffic would drop by thirty percent. So we think about that.” 
Dan Lamothe, National Security Reporter corroborates Marburger’s tone, stating “Woah, I work for that place?” referencing the excessive bias from the Editorial section. 
He continued: “They definitely don’t like Trump. I mean here’s the thing though. There’s the news side that’s just trying to critically call bullshit when there’s bullshit, but also give him credit where there’s credit, you know? When something is good, and he’s doing more things bad, but he’s doing some of the things good.” 
Lamothe admitted that The Post receives a lot of criticism for their Trump coverage: “Yeah, that would be a criticism. You’re spending a ton of time on this thing that’s sensational, versus… Some sort of policy thing that would affect everybody.” Marburger confirms that Amazon’s Jeff Bezos who owns The Washington Post has influenced the Washington Post’s vision. Bezos is even credited with creating the Washington Post’s new motto “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” 
“The Washington Post came to our headquarters this to try to turn the tables on us, to kind of do what we do, said Project Veritas President James O’Keefe. “The difference is the major media has more of a problem with exposing the corruption than they do with the corruption itself. See, Washington Post, Democracy does die in darkness. But it also dies in silence too.
