More Journalism Erupting At Washington Post


The Washington Post is on fire today.  In addition to the indictment we've linked to below, here are more headlines (print edition) with stories on multiple topics that will confirm that at least this newspaper, on this Sunday, isn't playing "both sides" or "he said, she said" games:

Trump approaches crisis as if he's making reality tv

Once again, government is caught unprepared

GOP fights efforts to ease voting during pandemic

As Trump urges states to share ventilators, New York deaths surpass 3,500

Trump continues undermining independent watchdogs

None of it is perfect, and it's one day, but what a relief to see largely unvarnished facts driving the news.

(Of course, there's always a dogged outlier;  today it's "fact checker" and false equivalence maven Glenn Kessler taking a weak shot at nit- picking comments Joe Biden made about getting virus experts into China early on (!).  That's a critical topic to focus on right now, isn't it!?  No link.)
