Who Is John Solomon?

My VIP for this week is John Solomon, an investigative journalist. According to an article by Greg Hughes published at The Daily Signal, Solomon has “been involved in politics in some way for 38 years” but spent most of his journalist career in the mainstream media. 

Hughes wrote, “His resume boasts 20 years with The Associated Press, stints at The Washington Post, collaboration with ‘60 Minutes,’ and a senior position at The Hill.” Hughes continued, “He was highly regarded by his peers and received many awards for his investigative work, including the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award and the Society of Professional Journalist National Investigative Award. However, things changed after “the election of [Donald] Trump, [when] he became an outcast among these same peers.” Hughes claims that Sullivan’s “sins” was digging “into the legitimacy of the Russia collusion narrative and the Mueller investigation.”

Solomon’s commitment to truth had not changed. He had always had a consistent approach – which included questioning the government’s behavior, no matter who was in power. But any attempt to give Trump – the trespasser, the usurper – a fair shake in the press was deemed to be the ultimate betrayal.

In time, Solomon’s trailblazing investigative work has been vindicated. He founded Just The News in 2020 after it became clear that authentic investigative journalism was no longer welcomed within his profession.

Solomon is an investigative journalist. Today, he is widely considered a right-wing voice, but only because he stayed true to his profession while that profession turned into a leftist ideological camp.

It seems that CBS Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss, tasked with trying to restore some semblance of objective journalism to the network, understands Solomon’s work. He was recently interviewed on the network.

The interview would appall members of the regime media. In it, he shared facts that have been ignored and censored, meaning they had never been heard by most of the American public before.

I trust the reporting of John Solomon. His “Just the News” is honest. He reports news as it is and not what he would like it to be. His investigations and reporting were instrumental in breaking the Russian collusion narrative and getting to the bottom of the Mueller investigation.
