The Washington Compost is notorious for this sort of rambling, poorly structured and confusing writing. Editorial control of the most basic sort is sadly lacking as anyone who has tried to make head or tale out of their reductive reporting can attest. In nation politics and coverage of such topics as the Pentagon they are wedded to a few story lines with easily identifiable villains and heroes and little hard data reported.For people who pride themselves on being 'nuanced and sophisticated' their reporting is opposite of either being cartoonish and simplistic and uninformative in the bargain.

What ever happened to the tough as nails editors who rose through the ranks from the night police blotter and who demanded good writing from the reporters? They're all such prima donnas, but they write such crap.
