Good article. Bump.

The Washington Post is less left-wing than The New York Times, but still a liberal paper that has for the past 40+ years supported the Democratic Party. The Post was intensely hostile to Goldwater, Nixon, Ford and Ronald Reagan. Less openly so with G.H.W. Bush, but supported Democrats against him. The Post toyed with opposition to Clinton, but never got its feet wet, so to speak. Only since 9/11 has the Post been more pro-American and more 'conservative.' Interesting to see if it will last. I have known membersof the Graham family who owns the Post, and I don't think the paper will stay right after the war.
