How did the Post come to this? I’d suggest that it is, in a way, a microcosm of our society: lowered standards.
“How did the Post come to this?”
Or rather, how did the post come to this 30 years ago?
Don’t be misled by the fact that these things are coming to light now. It’s not that the media scoundrels weren’t like this before; it’s just that electronic communications now makes it possible for them to be caught at it.
maybe this episode will lead to the reimposition of some level of standards.
Standards? We don’t need no stinkin’ standards- “Progressive” mantra
I moved to DC in January, and started a subscription with the Washington Post. I just wanted something to read on the way to work each morning. It took about five days to determine that the Post was a joke. I will admit that the local news and the Metro updates are still worthy....but the entire front twelve pages are worthless.
I sent an email to the ombudsman about six weeks into my subscription...that I considered the Post fairly unbalanced. He did respond...saying that liberals consider the Post to be too far to the right in terms of balance (I kinda laughed...I wouldn’t consider them liberals anymore).
Finally, only an observation but from the local ABC, NBC, and CBS stations in DC...they are far more left than the Post and tilted almost on a nightly basis. If you are eighteen and naive...getting this dosage per day....you really can’t help but get doped up on “stupid news” coverage.
