WaPo Columnist blames media for Trump's Big Lie (really!)

Closing text of his column:

"The sad part is, many in the media see the Jan. 6 hearings as a vindication of their Trump resistance — proof that they were right about him all along. In fact, the hearings are as much an indictment of the media as they are of the former president. It was because of their collective failure to report objectively for four years, that when Trump finally told the “big lie”— and Americans needed to know the facts — few trusted the media.

It’s time for some soul-searching in America’s newsrooms, for their role in this catastrophic failure."

Again, Thiessen blaming the media for Trump supporters believing his lie. The implication is they are delicate flowers needing to be led around by the nose.
Even Trump's AG Barr told Trump he lost the election.
