NY Times, Wash Post Criticized for Nancy Reagan Obituaries
By Greg Richter. The New York Times and Washington Post both went for the negative early in their reporting Sunday on the death of former first lady Nancy Reagan, and conservative commentators made note of it.

Meanwhile, Mediaite’s Joe Concha noticed that Lois Romano, the writer of The Washington Post’s obituary, was clearly no friend to the former first lady or to Republicans in general.
Romano appears from her Twitter account to loathe “the Republican party and also appears to have affinity for one female Democratic presidential candidate in particular going back years to her time at Politico,” Concha writes. “Just how she got the official nod to reflect on the life of Nancy Reagan by the powers that be at The Washington Post is an utter mystery.” (Read more from “NY Times, Wash Post Criticized for Nancy Reagan Obituaries” HERE)

“Now she is at peace,” added Reagan, who also is president of the Reagan Legacy Foundation. (Read more from “Michael Reagan: She’s With Her Ronnie Now” HERE)
