I was hoping for some kind of synopsis, e.g. a brief overview of the WaPo’s blatant bias.

I will not click on a WaPo link. Advertisers pay by the click, and WaPo does *not* deserve my money.

What is this “Washington Compost” anyway?

The time around Teddy Roosevelt is a bit odd. 1901-1909. The headline for 1900 doesn’t even mention who won?

Yeah they make it sound as if it’s some sort of historical record while in reality they are a house organ of the dims.

I skimmed it all the way to the end. What was most interesting was their click bait for their own stories at the end. ALL were anti-Trump fake news.

The slithering readers of this holy grail of the Swamp Media probably know no other "news".

I can’t imagine Bezos running for president when he can disrupt the country in his underhanded way.

But then again, I know that even wielding enormous influence is never enough when it comes to power.
