<edited> So as it's going to be a flame war apparently I've deleted the comment.

I'd just like to register my opinion that I don't see Washington Post is an objective, nor even a trustworthy source at this point. When they print something it's often worth looking deeper into I believe.



>Although Washington Post isn't quite Brietbart yet they appear to be headed rapidly in that direction from my perspective

So you've never actually been to Breitbart then? I checked it regularly before the 2016 elections and, in those days, it certainly earned its nickname "stormfront lite." They've toned it down since the additional scrutiny and subsequent mainstreaming of the Trump era, but WaPo has never been and will never even come close to Breitbart. Also Breitbart is an overt propaganda outlet. WaPo may seem biased, but it certainly does not engage propaganda on the same level as Breitbart.


  WaPo has never been and will never even come close to Breitbart.
Well, they certainly weren't close to the Obama administration or Clinton campaign like WaPo was, as clearly revealed in numerous WikiLeaks-exposed email exchanges.

Meanwhile, if you see any factual errors on Breitbart, by all means post them.

You don;'t need facts when your product is bigotry rather than information.

That's because you probably believe that the Illuminati or clockwork elves are real.


Or maybe its because operation mockingbird never went away and wapo is quantifiably part of that core narrative group.

Yours is the kind of negative, noncontributory comment I would'nt be surprised to see dang flag.

Your comment consists entirely of conspiracy theories and personal attacks.

You've been posting quite a few unsubstantive and borderline uncivil comments to HN. Would you please stop?


So posting comments with misleading information and media bashing is substantive and civil?

I'll stick to that then.


Ya, so do I. Seriously. We can't have different political opinions without it turning into this?


That's entirely incorrect. The Republicans own actions, and absolutely nothing else, portrays them in a bad light.
