Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin confessed to Piers Morgan this week that he can’t call out his paper’s owner in the same manner he recently did to Bill Maher for “falling into the trap” of being used by Donald Trump, noting that Jeff Bezos could potentially fire him for his criticism.
The admission by Rogin comes days after a fiery exchange on Maher’s HBO show Real Time, which also incidentally featured Morgan. During a panel discussion, Rogin challenged Maher for breaking bread with Trump after being an outspoken critic of the president for years, suggesting the comic had become a pawn in the president’s latest “PR stunt.”
