So I open my home delivered Wash Post again this morning and once again articles centered on gun control and gays.
Sick of this paper now and will cancel it tomorrow.
One slanted stinkin' newspaper.

Thank you. I will look into that tomorrow!

Been a WP reader for well over 30 years. Yes, I have noticed they are becoming more and more political and stridently political the last few years. There is no longer even a pretext of fairness of perspective. But reading views contrary to my own doesn't bother me so I will continue to subscribe. Well, mostly so I can read online...

It's got to the point with me to where I only read Metro (see who died) and the Sports page. Sports, well, I can watch ESPN and get what updates I need.
The Wash Magazine is mostly about gays dating gays. Who cares!

Why would billionaire Jeff Bezos buy a dying newspaper if not to spread his political beliefs?

I'm an independent voter and I've noticed over the past year the Post has become an arm of the DNC. Part of this is pushing out a daily clean slate of opinions to the groups the DNC panders to for votes. Take the last week as exhibit A if you haven't recycled it yet. Love them or hate them there's at least a few readers in the region that are straight, middle class and respect the job the police force is doing.

You just noticed that the Post has a far left slant? Did you just wake up from a 30 year coma?

I gave up on the post when, in the 2008, they became a cheerleader for one side. In prior years they at least maintained a pretense of objectivity; in 2008 they did not.

Their bias mainly appears as story selection, fact selection, fact order, and adverb and adjective selection.

Consider their support of the renaming of the Redskins. They took up the banner placed before them by activists, decried the methodology of a survey that showed 90% of native americans did not care, and consistently pushed for a renaming....until they did their own survey, and found out 90% of native americans did not care. Then they ran a story mentioning their survey while highlighting the opinions of activists.

Activists must lead WaPo by the nose.

Anyone who says that Washington Post is far left needs to read more. Have you heard of Bernie Sanders?

That's the Washington Post. Most articles are far left if they are political or can be made political. Piss on them..and 98% of their Editorials too. I read the post with a jaundiced eye. And 98% of the time do it Free!

DAJAX

Don't forget the staff racists like Courtland Milloy and Colbert King, as well as that white looking black lady, Laylani something who recently left the Style section.

The Washington Compost

Just another MSM newspaper run by globalists. People are waking up and ditching these rags and thankfully the WaPo will be dead in a few years.

Hate that they started charging for online. Who was an account I can use?? Thanks

The Post is where old Pravda propagandists go to die.

I cancelled my 30+ year subscription for the same reason.

You have to be dumb to think that The Washington Post is not a good newspaper. That newspaper is what real Americans read, and honest, hardworking ones at that. Never would someone say that it's even harmful.

Knowing who you are... you'd say this stuff while it's the opposite. They tell better facts than you.

You got your words wrong, and plus intelligent, educated people will continue reading WaPo.

I'm the worst troll ever since I am a good non-troll.

The Post is nothing but leftwing garbage, just as it has been for years. Why would anyone pay to read their lies and hatred of all things American?

Using a search engine on topics in the news, such as the war in Syria, the Orlando shooting, the financial markets, or Brexit, I don't come across too many worthwhile articles in the Washington Post or the New York Times for that matter. And pretty much never with the Washington Times for that matter. Newspapers local to the story usually have the most detail, and you have to read a number of articles to balance out the viewpoints.

How come wingnuts bitch and whine about liberal publications not giving voice to conservative opinions, but never complain about right wing publications that are just as guilty of presenting only one side?

I have never heard anyone complain about the Washington Times having no liberal columnists.

But then no one actually reads the Washington Times.

The ironic thing about the WaPo is that they have abandoned the only part of their base that is willing to pay for news today. They have become catering to the millenials that do not pay for their news, Bernie's supporters that could not afford to pay for their news even if they wanted to or the rest of their liberal base that cannot read! As a result, Bezos will eventually grow tired of pouring money into an expensive toy and shut the pathetic paper down.

The Post's reputation was built on helping bring down Richard Nixon and several of his top advisors during the Watergate scandal. Twenty-five years later they held Bill Clinton to a different, more lenient standard. Nowadays it's nearly impossible to distinguish between the Post and Democratic National Committee propaganda.

This. A once prestigious paper is now circling the drain.

Just for the record, if it would help speed up the process I would gladly contribute a case of Drano.

As a kid, I delivered the Post and read it every day. It was a habit that continued for 30 years. Over time, however, I got sick of the hate-filled, hypocritical racist writers such as Eugene Robinson, Courtland Milloy and Michael Wilbon, among others. The blatantly leftwing double standards applied by the Post are sickening. I'll never pick up another copy and look forward to the day when the last propagandist gets laid off from this once-great newspaper.

The Post lost me when they criticized kids for being too well-dressed for their father's swearing in to the Supreme Court. As if neckties were inappropriate. I wore a (clip-on) tie to Church from the time I was 6 or y years old.

The writer and editor should have been fired for that story.

*7 not y

They lost me when they started running expose's on the WMD lies after the US had already invaded Iraq. They later admitted to holding back or burying stories. Part of democracy is access to all information so it can be acted on to change government policies.

The best thing the Post did was along with the NYT, publishing the Pentagon Papers, which actually reflected badly on two Democrat administrations, but since Nixon was in power at the time, that bad reflection got wrong shone on him.

During Watergate on the other hand, they got it mostly right, but Woodward for sure and probably Bernstein manipulated and managed the story to keep the real story from coming out. See Secret Agenda by Jim Hougan and Silent Coup by Colodny et al.

Woodward is a lying pussy who has leveraged access into quite a career, but he doesn't lie all the time and is not always wrong.

Bernstein's claim to fame is that he attended swingers' parties with Czech intelligence agents.

I like how Liberals and Progressives cite Watergate as some over-the-top transgression.

Let me get this straight:

A few men break into the offices of the Democrat Party, and steal files pertaining to Democrats having sex with hookers.

Then they get caught.

Some how, this is big news.

I don't care about Watergate. Hillary Clinton sold pardons. Hillary Clinton is worth $300 million dollars for selling access.

Hillary Clinton made 3 speeches for Goldman Sachs, and was paid $675,000.

As Bernie Sanders said, those must have been Shakespearean speeches.

But we know they weren't. We know Goldman Sachs was paying her so that if she were President, she'll be kind to them.

Or, you idiots who drink the Kool-Aid (also, the same idiots who see clothing on a nude man) can actually believe that she's the smartest woman in the world, and that those multi-billion fund managers wanted to learn something from her wisdom.

I will be voting for TRUMP.

I read Washington Post for the scantily clad women on page 5.

You are an imbecile. Nixon was a threat to democracy. The end does not justify the means.

Take some time and read up on then Hillary Rodhams manipulative unethical behavior that got her removed from chief counsel Jeffry Ziefman's committee after Watergate concluded. She made Nixion look like an amateur as it pertains to unethical behavior. She also showed blatant disregard for the law, and specifically the constitution, while being part of the committee to investigate government officials for, oh yea, breaking the law and violating the constitution. If you believe what you say about the ends not being justified by the means, then I guess that would make you a Trump supporter. Or a hypocrite. Your turn.

The WaPo, like most of drive-by media are attack dogs biting any Republican, especially a conservative. They are lapdogs to the Democrats, especially Dem Presidents and Dem liberals.

The bias goes way beyond simple partisan politics to encompass notions of what good government should do. More generally, WaPo and mainstream media, also emphasize liberal ideas, theories, beliefs, or memes (even if false or relatively unimportant) and de-emphasize and debunk conservative ideas, theories, beliefs, or memes (despite being true and important).

Decades ago (30 plus years back) the WaPo Metro page had a headline "Va Stingiest in Area Benefits." The article pointed out that Virginia welfare benefits per person in the program were lower than Maryland welfare and much lower than DC welfare.

Nowhere in the article did it mention that the cost of living was lower in Va than Md and much lower in Va than DC. That's statewide averages. Obviously the suburbs of DC in Va and Md are high cost of living areas. Yet, and this was more true 30 plus years back than now, many Marylanders and Virginians lived in low cost of living areas. Think rural Eastern shore, Western part of Md and parts of Va near NC, TN, KY, and WV borders.

Obviously, in the minds of the WaPo reporter and editor higher welfare benefits were good and this bias was part of what purported to be a news story. Instead, the article was a thinly disguised editorial, pretending to be a news story.

The headline, with an opposite bias, would have been: "Va thriftiest in Area Benefits" and the story could be that Va was not fleecing its taxpayers to give great benefits to layabouts.

A neutral headline would have been "Area Benefits Vary" with the neutral story comparing benefits, but also factoring in different average costs of living and the negative impact on the budgets if benefits are too high, forcing state/DC taxpayers to pay higher taxes.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice. - John Cassis on manners

Ignoring juvenile attacks and remarks on the internet for over two decades.

Arguing by deflection or name-calling is an admission that you don't have a rational argument.

When I moved to this area in the late 80's I subscribed to the Wash Po and Wash Times. I was initially amazed that the same story appeared quite differently in both publications. This isn't new news, but glad you are a discerning reader.

Unlike other Liberal rags, the Washington Post takes veracity seriously, while not denying their left-leaning bias.

I believe the WP has fired numerous left-leaning "journalists", who now are affiliated with websites like Media Matters, etc.

When they tell you your free access is about to run out just clear your cookies, close and re-open your browser. Continue reading.

The Washington Post's left wing bias is in large part responsible for it's declining revenues.

That and the fact that illegals don;re read gringo newpapers.

Liberal rag. Trash it and cancel your subscription.

Jewish neolib/neocon rag. Get rid of it.

Shit I remember when G Gordon Liddy bashed that newspaper on his radio show in the 90s. Don't give the Washington Compost any $. You are just supplementing a means for liberals to piss and moan.

Anyone remember when the commie rag was the only game in town for classifieds, and gouged everyone for $100 for 3 lines for 3 days? So glad I took that cash cow away from those lib dickheads!

Take a look at the cover of the outlook section of today's WP. Three columns in a row bashing whites people. What the actual fuck is going on with this fucking rag? How does this shit pass for news? Unreal. Unsubscribe, now.

Although I have read the WaPo for many years I have always placed their editorial and oped pages as off limits for me. The only exception is when I am in a bad mood I will read a Eugene Robinson editorial and make a two or three paragraph tirade about the ridiculous viewpoints of this radical madman. I do agree that they are approaching the point of no return on their news coverage. Even for a shamelessly liberal rag like the Post there has to be a few shreds of truth to an article for it to have any credibility. However, maybe the solution is to read the headline and go to comments section for both sides of the story.

I don't remember it being this blatantly biased until the last 6 months or so.


I just scan the articles for a good chuckle.

The last 6-10 months have been a joke for the Post. I feel like they're trying to kill it off for good. Good riddance.

ehHkD

The Washington Post has an agenda - best thing to do is not subscribe - they rarely offer any value.

Quick skim and there's like, 45 posts here?
Guarantee, 2 people at most have typed all of the lunacy.

"Jewish neolib/neocon rag." LOL!

I changed my subscription to Sunday only, mainly for the coupons, TV guide, and comics.

BTW, all of the customer service/billing I've run into is now off-shored. After they fouled up an attempt to process a credit card, I didn't want to have to recite it to yet another person, so I asked them to send a paper invoice. You would have thought that I had asked them to set their genitalia on fire.

I'm sure they have mutilated / removed their genitalia years ago over there at the Washington Post.

My god, this paper is horrid. I'm done with it.

Story on Clinton meeting with FBI gets almost no coverage in the Post today. Small article that got about 1/3 the print of some shitty story on global warming in the Himalayas that is destroying some shitty herb that the local 3rd world dirt eaters rely on.

Compare that to the story the Post did a couple of weeks ago about Trump in high school. Got banner headline and two full pages. Next they'll do an indepth expose on Trump's bathroom habits.

Fuck the WaPo. It is a DNC-shilling propaganda rag.

This. Those hacks aren't even close to being objective. It's more obvious now than it's ever been.

Washington Post and New York Times are establishment papers. They tell you what the establishment wants you to think. Hillary is the establishment candidate. What is the surprise? If they were really left, they would've fawned over Bernie Sanders and trashed Elizabeth Warren for endorsing Clinton.

It's not hard to figure out why they're failing then.
