A couple of months ago, I noticed that the Wapo editorial board member’s names were no longer public.
I emailed a senior Wapo editor and asked who exactly was writing this dribble. To my surprise, he emailed back and told me the names were secret.

The Washington Post Editorial Board Is Spectacularly Awful at Legal Analysis
Since Bezos overhauled the board earlier this year, it has been very good at cranking out billionaire-friendly propaganda. It is quite bad at everything else.

Carl Hulse, NYT bureau chief in DC w a stable of reporters, has never assigned a story on NYT Leonard Leo, despite saying publicly that DC is run by a Catholic mafia. Leo’s name barely appears in his best selling book on Kavanaugh being placed on Supreme Court.

Robert Draper is the MAGA embed at NYT. Rather than “reporting” on MAGA, he helps NYT readers understand how and why these cuddly neo Nazis are misunderstood. His valentines on Charlie & Erika Kirk, Fuentes, MTG etc are fluffy MAGA PR by design.
