BTW I gave up my decades long subscription to the WaPo because they kept Theissen (aka 'that weasel theissen'), Hugh Hewitt and Gary Abernathy -- all of whom repeated and spread BS and lies to support Trump even after January 6th.

If there's an honest bone in theissen's body, don't tell him or he'll have it removed.

It's rough finding a trustworthy newspaper. I'm in NY state, but I just couldn't do the NY Times. They've always been very beholden to the Trumps and Cuomos of the world. They actively root for the overdog. It's not a liberal / conservative thing, it's more a haves and have nots bias. They are literally incapable of seeing or hearing people in the middle and working classes, to the point of ridiculousness. Their most pressing issues seem to be people working from home (won't somebody think of the Manhattan landlords?!) and cancel culture from the left only (you certainly won't see them writing about public schools). So I'm subscribed to the Washington Post, but I'm baffled by many of their editorial decisions, which bring to mind the last season of The Wire.

I sort of understood why the WaPo hired that trio.

Trump got elected and all of their conservative columnists were anti Trumpers.

But after January 6th, a line was crossed for me and not only did the new editor not ease them out, she seemed to be giving them more space.

The NYT lost me over "her emails" and the lack of serious coverage of Donnie's days as a developer.

Really NYT? You didn't guess Donnie was cheating on taxes before 2015?
