"This almost mimics 23 years ago when there was a very large pro-abortion rally in '89 and a very large pro-life rally in '90. The pro-abortion coverage was huge – days long, every section of the paper – and the pro-life rally the next year got in the Metro section."
At the meeting, Post Company chairman Donald Graham, who in 1990 was the paper's publisher, "said he was appalled by what happened 23 years ago, though he didn't really say if he was appalled by what happened this year."
Almasi said that Katherine Weymouth, current publisher of the Post, also responded to his concerns, saying "we're far from perfect – we do make mistakes."
The allegation against the Post comes as the broader mainstream media have come under fire for their failure to cover the trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell, who faces murder charges over the death of one mother and several babies, who were allegedly killed in his Philadelphia clinic after being born alive following botched abortion procedures.
Gosnell's trial began March 19, but it was not picked up by most of the large media outlets outside of Philadelphia until mid-April.
Almasi reports that in a private conversation following the shareholders' meeting, Weymouth said that 90 percent of the Post's newsroom is probably liberal and at times, "obviously their bias comes through."
Now that the Post's representatives admitted the paper's bias and previous mistakes, Almasi said that they need to do better.
"But we just need to see if they take that to heart, or it's just something they say every year at the shareholder meeting when we ask them," he stated.
