"Reuters is still living in a fantasy world. The Post has grasped reality."

The WP has seen the handwriting on the wall!
They are still a business and need to sell papers and adv. and to do this they have to maintain at least a scintilla of credibility.
Notice they have been almost diametrical to the NYT lately?

Does Reuters still ban the word 'terrorist'?

Notice they have been almost diametrical to the NYT lately?

It's the difference between employing people like Bob Woodward, who actually know what's going on (even if he won't tell the whole story), and brain-dead idiots like Saddam lickspittle Nicolas Kristof. The gossip in the newsroom at the Post reflects inside info on actual events, rather than some absurd, magical realist apperception of a West Wing-style, black-is-white, up-is-down liberal alternate universe.

"Notice they [WashPost] have been almost diametrical to the NYT lately?"

There has been a rather obvious breach between the two.

I wonder if the Post senses that, with the Times reduced to the role of "blast fax for the intransigent left", the esteemed title of "newspaper-of-record" might be up for grabs...
