How's the Washington Post doing lately?

A week of disgrace for the Washington Post

. . .The WaPo also smeared the Covington Teen Nick Sandmann alleging that he displayed bigotry towards Native American elder Nathan Phillips’s path. Sandmann then filed a $250M defamation lawsuit against WaPo, which the disgraced paper was compelled to settle.

The WaPo isn’t always mean, they have displayed compassion on rare occasions. When ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed after President Trump issued an order. The WaPo described him as an “austere religious scholar” who “maintained a canny pragmatism” and that “acquaintances would remember him as a shy, near-sighted youth who liked soccer but preferred to spend his free time at the local mosque.”

Their record is disgraceful, yet do not expect any course correction on their part.

The self-righteous never see their own mistakes.. . .

 The WaPo trumpets its dysfunction to the world

With the spat entertaining the conservative blogosphere, Sally Buzbee, the executive editor, finally sent a memo around the office telling reporters to “treat each other with respect and kindness.” Respect and kindness, though, weren’t the things the enraged women wanted. Instead, on Monday, they got their scalp: The WaPo suspended Weigel without pay.

So the Washington Post's pooh-poohing of '2000 Mules' gets a little comeuppance in Arizona  . . ."The Washington Post ran this Associated Press story, not bothering, despite its stable of well paid reporters, to report the matter itself.  The AP, based on what I could tell from a Google search, was the only non-local news outlet that did.  A few outlets cribbed from the AP story, but nobody else on the national scene put the hours in to cover the actual story.

"Filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza felt a measure of vindication to see the story on the Washington Post's site:. . ."

But bad as this reporting was, the Washington Post's was worse.  Longtime national correspondent Philip Bump, who's known as the water-carrier for the WaPo's top management, pooh-poohed the whole thing in the post-2020 election scenarios as baseless and the work of "conspiracy theorists."  He focused on some inflammatory wording in his piece here instead of the substance of the charges and used that as the basis of his argument that there's no such thing as election fraud.
