Kinda amazing to see WaPo already reduced to such trash in order to obtain clicks. At this rate of descent, in less than two years, WaPo will be on a par with vox.com in terms of credibility, utility, influence, AND clicks!
True enough under the stated premise.
However, Donald Trump has a way of dealing with many foes that is intended, if possible, to sweep them off their feet. First he punches at them for acting like cads, then he gives them a kiss.
This may still fail to help, but this leaves the ultimate moral onus square on the foe. They cannot complain that Donald did not try to make up, without showing a palpable lie — and this in a time of ever heightened public awareness of news honesty issues.
I guess the word here, is never say never. Many things are based on conditionals that we do not know the ultimate value of.
