The Washington Post has a new motto, displayed right below the paper's logo on its homepage: "democracy dies in darkness."
It's a new thing for the paper, which never had a motto or slogan in its 140-year history. Not through World War I, or the Great Depression, or World War II, or the Cold War, or Vietnam, or Watergate, or the War on Terror, or — or anything. Through all that time, including the period when the Post was lionized for shining light on Watergate, did the paper have a motto.
But now, it is "democracy dies in darkness." The paper debuted the slogan on Snapchat, and now it's on the website, and will appear in the printed paper in coming weeks, according to spokeswoman Molly Gannon.
Just to be sure I hadn't missed something, I asked Gannon if the Post had ever had a slogan like the New York Times' "all the news that's fit to print." "This isn't intended to be a tagline in that way," Gannon answered, via email. "If you're asking if we have ever had anything like the NYT 'Fit to Print' motto, the newspaper had long used in marketing 'If you don't get it, you don't get it.'"

But the WaPo is trying....
The Republic Shines
"Live Free or Die!"
The Washington Post DEALS in darkness and has for a long time.
Yep just like CBS has rebranded itself “real news.” LOL
Good, then since we’re a Contitutional Representative Republic, we have nothing to worry about.
The WP is lying it’s ass off there.
This has everything to do with Trump.
And the WP has a lot of nerve the litterally thousands of things it keep our nation’s people in the dark about, during Obama’s eight years, and the run up to them.
WaPo. . . “All the News That’s Fit To Compost”
The hard thing for the executives will be to understand what their own motto means.
Democracy dies in darkness and lies die in the Light.
Here you go WAPO, you forgot the other half
#FictionRUs
Entangle Yourself In Our Liberal Spin!
That’s what was wrong with the WP, they didn’t have a motto. Now, subscriptions will skyrocket, trust will return, and all will be right with the world.

It’s really rotten of the WaPo and the other corrupt media outlets to supply the darkness.
Absolutely. Shine a light on the very fake news.

I’m sure it appeals to the ignorant who think this country is a democracy.
Isn’t “darkness” kind of racist, though?
Democracy does die in darkness. And we had 8 years of darkness thanks to rags like the wApO.
Now that we have a president who is running the country according to law, we have the gurly quivering Congess critters shaking like dogs shitting razor blades as the media once again tries to appropriate the opposite of what is true.
Fake News you can believe in? Buahahahahahaha!
If the *uckers at WaPo had any patriotism at all, they would realize that President Trump is saving democracy, but it will be a democracy that is not theirs to own, shape or dictate using weaponized text and jingoistic propaganda.It will be a Democratic Republic of, for and by the People.
America will once again be unified.
The rule of the leftist media is over.
