Is the Washington Post known as a more conservative paper or is it a moonbat publication?

The Washington Times is the more conservative periodical.

The WP is definitely liberal in its editorial stance. However, it's not always moonbat like the NYT. Even during the Bush years, it actually took some sane position on the war on terror.

There's nothing conservative about the Post.

I don't even believe the page number in that paper.

It's the DC version of the New York Times - once a great paper, now misusing its reputation to give credibility to its leftist ideology.

The Washington Post is one of the few news outlets left in the US that are considered “elite” media. They are the preeminent paper in DC and have been responsible for breaking some of the biggest stories in our nations history; Watergate being one of them.

The Post has their informants in the Gov and is one of the first publications a politician will go on record with, or off record. Given their close relationship with so many politicians, they’ve been known to cover for the ones they like and will target those who have fallen out of favor. In a somewhat humorous way, you can learn more about what is going on in DC by reading their style section than the front page.

They report with a slant to the left which has become much more obvious over the last 10 years. Rarely did they report faltering stories on Bush43, but did tend to love Laura. When it comes to Obama they not only drank the kool-aide, they’re wallowing in it.

The Post has had and continues to employ Pulitzer winning reporters and other well know, highly respected in their field, journalists. Helen Thomas being one you probably have heard of.

The Post will slant a story only so much, but if here is overwhelming evidence to the contrary or they are being scooped by others in the media they will bring their reporting back to center if not even slightly to the right.

Sorry about the long explanation but it’s needed to understand the influence the Washington Post has inside and outside of the Beltway.

The Post is Moonbat, almost exclusively.

Ironically, in contrast, The Washington Times is known for its conservative stance on political and social issues. It was founded in 1982 by Unification Church founder Sun Myung Moon, and has been subsidized by the Unification Church community.
