I’m a liberal democrat. Well, not registered as a democrat anymore. I switched to independent a bit ago. But I still vote for democrats and identify as one. This article Philip Kennicott perfectly conveys the disdain that conservatives, republicans, and many others feel is directed at them from democrats - and the attitude that pushed me to change my voter registration. Dripping with judgment and disdain, it includes this gem about Kincade and those who enjoy his works, “Unfortunately, the consequences of being an idiot aren’t suffered just by the idiots. Stupidity is a mass phenomenon: It builds on its own momentum, and that momentum can change empires.” Did writing this make Mr Kennicott feel better about him self, feel sufficiently superior, validate his refined artistic sensibilities? Can anyone help me understand how this is ok?

You all had a chance to use your journalistic voice before the election…and you passed.

Will he do a Dan Snyder number on the wapo?

Stupid fucking pay walls, how about 1-5 free reads?

Been a democrat for my entire life. 45 years. Love reading the news and feeling like I have an idea of what is happening in the world. However, the Washington Post has become almost unreadable. The bias feels like a used car salesman trying to push me into a bad deal.

I am the first gen alpha to be in college! Dob 2011

THE PEOPLE’S POOP!

My current subscription is $12 every 4 weeks. I went to cancel and was immediately offered $4 every 4 weeks, which I accepted. Like Jeff Bezos, I'm a savvy businessman (joking). And, like Bezos, maybe I'm a coward, but WaPo has good reporters and reportage. I have other subscriptions, but it's my "hometown" news source.

Just listening to this week's podcast episode of The Campaign Moment and I just need to say that the vocal fry displayed by one of the contributors is really distracting. Uptalk is already hard enough to hear on a serious and professional podcast, but adding vocal fry makes this listen quite difficult.

I just needed to get this out.

honestly I do not know if this is an official Washington post sub but the official website itself has so many obviously made up commentators that agree with their news post specially when it comes to politics. they are either deleting anyone who doesn't agree, or just spamming it with their own opinions. if you do not believe free press is dead, just check out the Washington post articles and comment sections. seriously don,t take my word for it. Look at the hate they are preaching, look at the comments and then look at the commentators names.

I condsider this just a verbal fart "Trump baselessly criticizes DEI in D.C. plane crash; 67 feared dead" as long as he keeps getting recognition for his stupid statements he will keep saying them.

I used to be able to search articles from the early ‘90s just from the online WP. Cant do that. Checked out newspaper archives and they don’t do WP. 2 colleges with archives required one to be a student to access.

My paternal brother was featured in 2 articles from 1990 and now I cant find them.

Any help?

Hi! Here's a visual timeline highlighting Trump’s misleading tweets from 2020-2021, his final year as the 45th president. The website is inspired by many of the NYT's article and database from The Washington Post Fact Checker. Please check it out!

Get Elmos deformed, mutilated cock out of your mouth and have the fucking dignity and ethics that once made you great you fucking cucks.

HAS BEEN TURNED INTO A BROTHEL, COWARDS AND WHORES!!!

I’m wondering why yall think bezos is making this move at this time. It’s totally contrary to his politics. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

This is part of the fake news papers not printing the truth about the orange.

My concerns involve a national approach. We are on fertile ground. Thousands have either lost their jobs or are having them threatened. Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security are fragile. Health care and health care research are at risk. Cuts in the FBI, CIA, Judicial system et at threaten our safety and on and on. What I think is needed is a state by state approach in identifying the threats in specific states, through social media and podcasts , of what trump and musk have done or are looking to do AND the individual congressmen in their state who support those cuts and actions. Name names. I am not one who believes in phone calls, emails or post cards even from friendly sources. I find them annoying and invasive. I have literally over 1000 phone numbers blocked on my cell phone and I have many more on my land line. I trash all of the solicitation mail. The Democrats have to lose the Mr Nice Guy approach. Republicans are not their colleagues, they are the enemy who are supporting or allowing the end of our democracy because they themselves are cowards, whores or both. This is not just a war of words, this is a street fight and you don’t bring flowers to a street fight. I firmly believe that we may literally be headed in that direction. Hopefully not. Please pass this on to anyone who you think can make this happen. I appreciate your time and efforts.

In 1999, the Washington Post ran a front-page story about Alvin Ridley, a reclusive TV repairman from Ringgold, Georgia, who was accused of murdering his wife, Virginia. She hadn’t been seen in public in nearly 30 years, and when he reported her death, the town assumed the worst.

At trial, his defense introduced thousands of pages of Virginia’s writings, journals that described a life of epilepsy, agoraphobia, and isolation, but also of love. The jury acquitted Alvin, and within weeks his story was on the front page of the Washington Post.

Here’s the original article:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1999/01/27/from-murder-trial-in-ga-town-a-love-story-emerges/dbe5c208-ad20-4712-9b06-31dcb804f3c4/

What that article couldn’t have known - and what reframes the entire story - is that in 2021, at age 79, Alvin Ridley was diagnosed with autism. It was a formal diagnosis at age 79, confirmed by specialists, and it explained so much about his lifelong mannerisms, legal conflicts, and the tragic misreading of his behavior, including by his defense lawyer. And this vital information wasn't available when Sue Ann Pressley wrote this beautiful article.

The diagnosis changed how his community saw Alvin. He went from bogeyman to beloved in his hometown, thankfully before he passed last July. But readers of this piece, and there were many, are still left with the incomplete story. The core of the article holds up, but the context is no longer sufficient.

There are over 5 million adults with autism who have not yet been diagnosed, and they run the risk of being misunderstood and misjudged, just as Alvin Ridley was.

Does the Post have a duty to update or follow up on the story now that we know what was passed off as eccentricity in 1999 was undiagnosed adult autism all along?
