Forged Under Fire—Bob Mueller and Jim Comey’s Unusual Friendship
Also X-RAY
Oookay....I checked the Washingtonian link you provided. The first thing I do when faced with a publication about which I know nothing, I do searches on it, and then the author.

Media Bias/Fact Check was started by Dave Van Zandt who worked at a “progressive” institution, New School. So the site Media Bias/fact check is definitely not on the ‘right’ or conservative side. Yet it says that the Washingtonian is far left.

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy

Analysis / Bias
In review, the Washingtonian Magazine is published monthly, however the website is updated daily. Journalists cover topics in the DC area that consists of entertainment, culture, general news and politics. News reporting tends to favor the left through story selection and wording such as this: Far-Right Activists Brought Their Gripes About Social Media to a Park Near the White House This Weekend. This story is properly sourced to high factual left leaning sources such as the Daily Beast and Vox. The Washingtonian also produces long form journalism that is thoroughly researched such as this: A Murder on the Rappahannock River. The website also provides rankings that include top physicians, top places to dine, and top neighborhoods. Editorially, almost all opinions favor the left and denigrate the right such as this: We Should All Cringe With Embarrassment About Trump’s Banana-Republic July 4 Spectacle.

Okay, enough of the publication. The author, Garrett M. Graff, The Aspen Institute is about as deprish as they come, and Wired is considere left/center bias by the Media Bias site:

Lastly, the Washingtonian article itself: I tried to read it, I really did. It’s written like a novel, with emotional words and unncessary drively fiction-type writing stuff, I could not stomach it. It did not read like a factual report, but a psychological angle emotional story thing. I just can’t read stuff like that. Of course Meuller is very icky and Comey infinitely worse. Was there another point in that article that was relevant?
So.....
