WaPo just re-designed their newspaper format and issued a Special Section on Monday to introduce its readers to the new changes.
BTW - The changes suck !!!
Anyway, go to the link - it is a PDF file and go to the last page (FAQS - Page 8).
The small article is in the very right-hand column:
The Post and Our Community - A Journalistic Commitment
I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY HAD THE CHUTZPAH TO PUT THIS IN THERE ...
The Wash Poop and NY Slimes are trash. They are the propaganda arms of the DC. They can go to hell.
The NY Times and Walter Duranty were complicit in the murder of 6 million Ukrainians at the hands of their and Pete Seeger’s hero - Joe Stalin.
Things goals sound good. Too bad the paper hasn’t held to them in decades.
The Post and our community
A journalistic commitment
Eugene Meyer, who bought
The Post in 1933, had a vision
of what makes a newspaper
truly great, and that vision
included serving the public
according to seven principles:
• The first mission of a newspaper
is to tell the truth as nearly as the
truth can be ascertained.
• The newspaper shall tell ALL
the truth so far as it can learn it,
concerning the important affairs
of America and the world.
• As a disseminator of news,
the paper shall observe the
decencies that are obligatory
upon a private gentleman.
• What it prints shall be fit reading
for the young as well as the old.
• The newspaper’s duty is to
its readers and to the public
at large, and not to the private
interests of its owners.
• In the pursuit of truth, the
newspaper shall be prepared to
make sacrifices of its material
fortunes, if such a course be
necessary for the public good.
• The newspaper shall not be
the ally of any special interest,
but shall be fair and free and
wholesome in its outlook on
public affairs and public men.
Mr. Meyer would be so ashamed of what journalism has become.
It sure seems like he would.

LOL, there’s the thousand words...
Yeah right. Ochs/Sulzberger were too. Great public servants all of them. If one thinks "the public" is cattle and there is a God given right of some to oversee the herd.

Oh yeah???
That’s not what I heard.
The real story is completely different ...
...and it has epically failed in all seven of its pillars.

That’s exactly what they think. Throw in CNN, the MSM, NBC ... the current entire US government ...
Agreed...
