WaPo conducts polls that are worded to influence opinion, not measure opinion. We call them “push polls”
It is not too much of a stretch to see that WaPo is now conducting “push-journalism”
( putsch-journalism anyone? )
Heck, they've been doing that since 1969, when Nixon took the oath of office. The minute the rubble of LBJ was pushed out of the field of view, they started in with it.
