Jennifer Rubin is resigning from the Washington Post where she was a columnist.

Rubin said, “We’ve watched as corporate and billionaire owners of media outlets abused their audiences’ loyalty and undercut journalism’s vital role in a free democracy.”

The Hill reported:

Jennifer Rubin has resigned from her position as a columnist at The Washington Post amid a period of internal strife at the outlet to begin the new year.

Rubin, who has been a columnist at the Post since 2010, is starting a new media venture with attorney and pundit Norm Eisen, she said Monday.

“We’ve watched as corporate and billionaire owners of media outlets abused their audiences’ loyalty and undercut journalism’s vital role in a free democracy,” Rubin said in a statement. “Instead of safeguarding democratic values, they have enabled the gravest threats to democracy – Donald Trump and his allies – at the very time when a robust and independent press is most essential. We need an alternative, truly independent outlet that is unafraid of the administration and unwilling to equivocate or bend the knee.”

Rubin and Eisen’s new projected, dubbed “The Contrarian,” will feature both political and cultural commentary “in defense of democracy” and operate using Substack columns, a YouTube channel, podcasts and other digital media platforms.

Rubin was anti-Trump and a major booster of the Biden administration.

She joins other big names who have left the Washington Post.

Rubin joins several high-profile staffers have announced departures for other outlets, including reporters Josh Dawsey, Ashley Parker, Michael Scherer, Tyler Page and LeeAnn Caldwell, columnist Charles Lane, health and science editor Stephen Smith and veteran editor Matea Gold.

Rubin was one of the Biden administration’s most sycophantic boosters at the Washington Post, in addition to being one of the most rabidly anti-Republican voices at the already liberal paper.
