The problem with these people is they believe this alternate reality they have created for themselves and their colleagues, which thus allows to them justify almost anything in service of what they view as a just cause.

Anyways, the Milbanks of the world are going to keep throwing these tantrums and get even louder/more extreme as they lose their influence because most people recognize their version of this fight doesn't match reality.
Milbank is upset over negative coverage of Biden this year as his administration has created and failed to deal with multiple crises. Americans don’t approve of Biden performance, but Milbank believes the press should only say good things re him bc of these hypothetical enemies.
While accusing the opposition of being fascists, Milbank actually advocates for the press to act like an organ of administration propaganda. But it’s fine because they are the good guys and fighting the bad guys. He might find the press approach more fitting in Russia.
And now he’s creating conspiracies about left-leaning media publications because they won’t completely adopt his Baghdad Bob approach to covering the Biden failures. These people are unwell and it’s irresponsible for WaPo to give them a platform.
