It started last week. But if you are a federal government employee and access it from your government computer on your government funded Internet then it is still free. They wouldn't want all of those government not wasting tax payer dollars.

Hey OP: Do you work for free? If not why would you expect the staff and employees at the Washington Post to work for free?

You are not entitled to anything. Open your eyes.

Since they have lots and lots of ads I do not think anyone is asking for it to be free.

I heard that if you already have a subscription to the post, then you should not have to pay for it online.

Free would be overpriced for the Wash Post.

I guess the Post has not heard that when papers start charging it is the sign of the end.

Good. The sooner newspapers start doing this the faster they'll go out of business.

To disable post firewall in Chrome Browser:

Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Privacy > Content Settings > Cookies > Manage Exceptions > block washingtonpost.com

or just use an incognito window.

But I suggest changing the channel on this liberal rag and getting your news from a less subjective source.
