This is the truth the Washington Post thinks you can’t handle. Does Hamas use civilians as human shields? Uh, yeah. Does Hamas indiscriminately murder civilians as a way of making a political point? Uh, yeah. Should this be said out loud? Uh, no. “Explains” WashPost editorial page editor David Shipley, “Our section [of the Post]…

More disinformation from the NYTimes? You betcha! Good Information from the Washington Post? Strange, Yet True!
Yep, yep, yep. It’s Washington Post 1, New York Times 0 on the Vanneman-o-meter, which measures, of course, “TRUTH”! The matter at hand is Missouri v. Biden, a recent decision by the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals partially affirming—with the emphasis on “partially”—a wide-ranging (as in “loud mouthed” and, well, “Trumpy”) lower court’s preliminary…
The Washington Post shocks too easily
17 fatalities, 736 crashes: The shocking toll of Tesla’s Autopilot, the Washington Post announces, in a long piece by reporters Faiz Siddiqui and Jeremy B. Merrill. What does Tesla dude Elon Musk have to say? Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said that cars operating in Tesla’s Autopilot mode are safer than those piloted solely by…
I did not see this coming! The B-21 bomber is so dumb, even the Washington Post is making fun of it!
Hell no I did not! The Washington Post, not known for its skepticism regarding America’s military intellectual complex—because it’s a charter member!—just can’t stop snickering at the B-21 “bomber”, sounding a hell of lot like me! Noting that Congress has kept the big boy’s budget secret, and that the plane’s recent roll-out was as primly…
Misinformation at the Washington Post, Jonathan Capehart edition
Misinformation courtesy of the Washington Post? It does happen! Just last year I fact checked Fact Checker Glenn Kessler for his mis/disinformation regarding the godawful Donald Trump/Paul Ryan/Mitch McConnell tax bill rammed through Congress back in 2017, and now I’m on the trail of WashPost columnist Jonathan Capehart for his seriously uncritical take on Al…
Washington Post columnist empties his bladder on Washington Post column
Yeah, it’s not really a question of what WashPost Media Critic dude Erik Wemple had been drinking, but rather how much, and, judging by his recent offering, Depp-Heard case hinged on the world’s worst #MeToo op-ed, I’d say a good two liters at a minimum. It’s true that I beat Erik to the post, so…
Who is Nina Jankowicz? The Washington Post has forgotten.
Who is Nina Jankowicz? Well, she’s head of the new “Disinformation Governance Board” at the Department of Homeland Security. Politico provides a bland, just the facts summary of the kerfuffle/brouhaha/sinister plot, Small group, big headache: Inside DHS’ messy Disinformation Governance Board launch, giving DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas plenty of space to “explain” why something that…
Who got f*cked the hardest in the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard defamation suit, the Washington Post, Elon Musk, or the ACLU?
Here’s the deal. Back in 2018, the Washington Post ran an opinion piece by Hollywood actress Amber Heard, I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change. The piece, which identified Heard as “an actress and ambassador on women’s rights at the American Civil Liberties Union,” features what…
Shorter Washington Post: We cans so be as stupid as the New York Times!
Hell yes they can! In fact, this recent editorial by the Post, Fairfax school board should appeal ruling on admissions at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, denouncing the pernicious notion that schools for high-performing students should actually be for, you know, high performing students, outwoked the Times famous/infamous “1619 Project”, for, while…
Daniel Larison reads the Washington Post editorial page so I don’t have to. Fred Kaplan has to ask, what’s it all about, anyway?
And thank God that Dan does read the Post for me, because if I did have to read it myself I’d have the shakes even worse than I’ve got ‘em now. In his excellent substack site Eunomia, Dan alerted me to the Post’s most recent eruption, taking them to task in his post China Hawks…
