The Ministry of Propaganda is never going to change.
Conclusion.
If a particular story however false, far-fetched, or unverifiable has the potential to harm President Trump or conservative agenda priorities, The Washington Post will devote unlimited financial and manpower resources to keeping Americans attention firmly fixed upon it for as long as possible.
By contrast, if another story however plausible or widely corroborated by credible witnesses has the potential to harm a key political figure to whom the Democratic Party has hitched its star, The Post will do everything within its power to bury, whitewash, soften, or discredit that story.
