What’s This Massive Sucking Sound Where The Washington Post Used To Be? (Wonkette)

We’ve got some serious cases with Big Media Suck this week, with the Washington Post going out of its way to muddle coverage with such ridiculous “both sides” framing that the Roman god Janus has asked them to kindly knock it the fuck off.

One story casually frames Republican efforts to undermine preventing the spread of the coronavirus as a political “win,” and another blandly suggests that red and blue states are “moving in opposite directions” when it comes to letting their people vote, as if it were a high school “Compare & Contrast” assignment. A third purports to examine two different school systems’ “radically different approaches to managing the pandemic” without saying right up front that one of those “approaches” doesn’t so much manage the spread of the coronavirus as promote it, because what are face masks but a personal style choice?

Goddamn, WaPo, you’re managing to suck harder than the New York Times when it was in full Cletus Safari mode. Let us castigate away!
