WaPo spent $5.2 million for Super Bowl ad about importance of journalism

Real journalism is dead but the Washington Post is doing what it can to try resuscitating it. Sadly, WaPo is one of the biggest perpetrators of garbage reporting but still spent $5.2 million to cosmetically buff up their image.

Last week alone, media outlets may have cut over 2,100 "journalists" from their staffing as companies try to scale back in order to make a profit. The Washington Post shelled out the money for the Super Bowl ad in which Tom Hanks, another leftist actor [aka a person who entertains people by pretending they're someone they are not] to teach us uninformed Americans just how important journalism is in the age of President Donald Trump.

Sadly, the Washington Post and Tom Hanks wouldn't know real journalism from  The Onion.

The ad, USA Today reports, will "highlight the role of journalists around the world who gather news, oftentimes in the face of grave danger." It will be narrated by A-list actor, director, and producer Tom Hanks, who has been an outspoken advocate for the media these last two years, even delivering a brand new, $1700 coffee machine to the "embattled" White House Press Corps.

"The commercial shows several slain and missing journalists affiliated with The Post and other publications, according to a description in Saturday's newspaper," USA Today reported.

"The commercial shows major news events from World War II to the present day and describes how journalists are gatherers of facts on the world stage," USA Today continues, quoting a Washington Post story about its own 30-second spot. "[T]he ad ends with the paper’s logo and its slogan: 'Democracy Dies in Darkness.'"

Also, omitting the reporting of certain events, and advocating for fact checking before the President delivers his state of the union speech, is opinion, not journalism. In fact, practically all journalism on the left media, is opinion and propaganda.

The Post wouldn't say how much it spent on the ad, but CBS has repeatedly said that it costs $5.2 million to air a 30-second slot any time during the Super Bowl, which ran from the pre-game at 4pm EST to the game's conclusion.

By the way, New England beat the Rams, 13 to 3. It was the lowest scoring Super Bowl in its history and the MVP was Julien Edelman.

I didn't watch the game and will no longer watch, until no knee bends for a phony protest, but only for G-d.

The Washington Post, owned by Amazon's Jeff Bezos, America's richest person, is the rare print media organization that has seen growth, but the trend may not hold as people more and more realize that the Washington Post is full of poop.

I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
