Salon editor Joan Walsh praised the Washington Free Beacon’s coverage of Hillary Clinton on Thursday:
Yes and I think the Washington Free Beacon has the best, most reliable reporting on both Hillary and the NYT @jamespmanley @politico
— Joan Walsh (@joanwalsh) June 6, 2014
The tweet was in response to a THE POLITICO recap of the Free Beacon’s latest Clinton scoop from Alana Goodman, about a recent closed-door meeting between Team Clinton and the New York Times, in which Hillary aides chastised the paper-of-record for prying too far into the life of a "private citizen."
The Free Beacon was also one of the first outlets to break the news of Clinton's alleged use of an old person’s walker on the cover of PEOPLE Magazine, and has continued to investigate the matter after a formal denial raised even more questions about the former first lady’s physical health.
We don’t always agree with Joan Walsh, but we do in this case.
Full disclosure: the Washington Free Beacon is an anti-Clinton website.
