ANALYSIS/OPINION:
I haven’t done enough research or analysis to determine whether Washington Times contributor Donald Lambro is a card-carrying “Never-Trump”-er, but my perception over time has been that when Mr. Lambro’s name is on top of a column, there’s bound to be some Trump-bashing below. All well and good, as the president is far from flawless and everyone can use some criticism from time to time. And Mr. Lambro certainly has proven that he can be counted on to provide this service for The Times.
That said, I believe he crosses a bridge too far in “The Tillerson exit, the Russian gambit” (Web, March 15). Mr. Lambro uses as an authoritative source The Washington Post’s ultra-liberal columnist Dana Milbank. Of note, the quote has no hard facts, just a Milbank musing followed by a “reportedly.”
For those unfamiliar with Mr. Milbank, a quick online search of his work will yield a treasure-trove of what some might describe as anti-conservative vitriol. I no longer read The Post because of such vitriol, and I am disappointed to see a prime purveyor of same upheld as a worthy source in Mr. Lambro’s column. Mr. Lambro can do better and so can The Times.
