I would NOT characterize the Washington Post as "a worthless piece of crap."
The Washington Post, like Pravda, is an agent of the left, and has been since the 1970s, in my opinion. It was at that time that I noticed that the Post was deeply partisan. I went to events that the Post wrote about. You would think that there were two separate events, one that I witnessed and another the Post wrote about. The views of the Post were twisted and warped to represent a leftist view of what occurred. It was purely yellow journalism.
Now it is worse. Could it be because the Washington Post is owned by a leftist who hates Trump? Does he have 20 Washington Post employees dedicated to trashing our President?
Does responsible journalism exist anywhere?
And there's another side to this too. They would use guys like George Will as their token "conservative".
In years past George Will would start his monologues by saying something provocative to make you think he's smart, but his commentary ended up being ambivalent so you could almost never take anything away from what he said.
Today of course he's a nakedly obvious Trump hater so you know what he's about instantly. He's blew his cover during this last campaign season.
His whole commentary history was a deception. George Will is a corporatist, elite globalist who only pretended to be conservative. He positioned his comments to never threaten the Left, and this is why he was dearly loved by WaPoo. And he left the taboo subjects about Democrat corruption untouched.
For a few decades, this is how the WaPoo, Will, and other fake conservatives conspired to be an objective newspaper.
Finally, with the rise of social media and Trump's unmasking of the elite, George Will can finally be seen as the Great Imposter he is.
Financially, I don't predict good things for the WaPoo. They will slowly fade. But as a practical matter they will never die. For example, Newsweek has big name recognition, but today has no print circulation to speak of. And the publication is manned by a much smaller staff. It only takes a handful of writers/editors to maintain an on-line presence.
