What's more probable is that the WaPo can no longer deny the obvious.

And that's why they buried the lead in the last graph. This story is a classic example of telling the truth in a way that won't attract the attention of an average reader who scans the headline and maybe the first 2 or 3 graphs.

I have a campaign to educate today's readers of MSM. Always check the last two paragraphs for the facts. They will be printed there so the paper can not be attacked for omitting them. It really saves time when reading articles, as well. Today's writers and editors put their argument in the first 2 paragraphs, and the 5 Ws at the end.
