The Washington Post columnist, Josh Rogin, argued that he could pay a price to criticize Jeff Bezos, the owner of the DC outlet.
Rogin recently accused the host of “Real Time”, Bill Maher, having played in the hands of President Trump meeting with him the previous week. “I think you’ve fallen into the trap, and I think I represent 99% on the Internet when I say this: you have played the proximity game is beginning,” Rogin said. “I’m not questioning your motivation, I’m questioning Trump, okay?”
In Monday’s episode or “Piers Morgan without censorship”, the homonym host stole Rogin for criticizing Maher, while supposedly he was silent about Bezos that extends the olive branches to Trump.
“You work for the Washington Post. Your owner, Jeff Bezos, has done much more than Bill Maher to cross the division with Trump. He used to be very critical of Trump. Trump,” Morgan said.

The host remembered numerous ways in which Bezos has heated to Trump, from dinner with him on his Mar-a-lago farm in December until he promised a million dollars to his inauguration fund. Then it has been included to ask: “I mean, as a senior journalist of Washington Post, how do you feel with all that?”
Rogin denied that he was trying to criticize Maher, saying that “if it came out that way, then I might not prepare my criticism perfectly. I was trying to criticize the idea that, you know, the bridge heal to Trump is divide, you, you, you just don’t think it was the result.”
He then argued that business leaders who meet with Trump are a set of completely different calculations. When it comes to his own experience, he said, he is aware of what happens at the management level, he has not done so with Bezos in person. Rogin argued that this answer is not a duck, it is just that I have no idea of what happens above me in the Washington Post. “
Morgan used a little word game in Rogin’s denial that he was trying to “crouch” the question.
“Josh, look, if it looks like a duck, and sounds like a duck, a duck is likely,” said Morgan. “I mean, you can appreciate that if you are Bill Maher looking at refusing to be remotely critical of critics or what yours with Trump in terms of kissing the ring, I could enhance that there could be a double standard there.”

“I see what you are trying to do, docks, but I am not in a position to comment on Jeff Bezos, because I comment on Jeff Bezos, then I could be fired from my work, and you know it, so I’m not going to do that,” Rogin replied. “But at the same time, I want to be honest with you, so I don’t see to dodge your question.”
“And my honest response of my heart is, you know, all the people who get involved with this administration, including all people in this panel, including you, I have to make that judgment based on their own calcals of their values and we have to do karuses and have karuses and have karules and have karules, and Bearus and We Have They have, and have, and have, and they have, and that they have, and they have to have a bearus to have, and have, and have to have, and have, and have, and have, and we have Bearus.
Rogin argued that he has been consistent in this position, claiming that he was the same as he had when he spoke with Maher, where essentially, “the commitment is good and the way he does is important, and his expectations of Trump’s response should be limited.”

The Washington Post columnist argued that the answer was “my effort to respond honestly, Piers, without being fired from my work and without itself, but to try to you who have a very consistent philosophy with the moles, and you will not say the stops, please it because I am Neith Trumpter or a liberal.”
