"What I’m pleased to read is how good the article is. Realistic, sensible and even-handed are just three laurels I’d toss to the author. And it appears on the WashPost site. Maybe there’s hope for the MSM after all."

Yeah, I had to look twice to be sure that it was "really" the WP. I suspect that the end result will be that the reporter(s) who wrote it will be fired. After all, WP can't have any employees who don't stick to the accepted party line.

They may be realizing that Mr. Sparky is no comeback kid. That leaves only the Carter template for two years. Not fun reporting. Given the house will be in conservative hands, the news will be investigations and budget show downs. WAPO needs to position some reporters that pubbies can open up to. Otherwise, they got the great access to Nancy and Sparky, but no one will want to read about that.

It's not a WaPo news story, but an opinion piece by a guy who writes for the Weekly Standard.

As things stand I’d have to say you’re right, but if sanity and adulthood really are coming back into vogue, then the childishness of the WaPo is going to stand out like a bawling baby on the middle of your nice white shag rug. Not a pretty picture and one which will be quite embarrassing.

I would think they might well be getting ready to have to write actual stories drawn from actual data with defendable conclusions and not just repeat slangs and slander from their Dem co-conspirators. After all, there aren’t going to be that many Dem co-conspirators to kick around after Nov 2nd, no?
