How Gary Abernathy ended up at Washington Post
The Post reached out to Gary Abernathy, editor and publisher of the Ohio Hillsboro Times-Gazette, to try to represent some of the roughly 46 percent of American voters who sent Trump to the White House. His column was distributed through the Washington Post News Service to 600 clients, most of which were newspapers.
Ruth Markus, deputy editor of the Post’s editorial page, says the inclusion of Gary Abernathy is part of the newspaper’s efforts to differentiate its views. She identified herself in an email as a representative of “major media” – a term that Abernathy often uses to describe national news organizations, accusing the left liberal media or pro democrats.
Trump’s endorsement in the Times-Gazettes “was reported – and often ridiculed – everywhere,” Gary Abernathy wrote in his first Post article.
