Whatâs This Massive Sucking Sound Where The Washington Post Used To Be? (Wonkette)
Weâve 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 âboth sidesâ 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 âwin,â and another blandly suggests that red and blue states are âmoving in opposite directionsâ when it comes to letting their people vote, as if it were a high school âCompare & Contrastâ assignment. A third purports to examine two different school systemsâ âradically different approaches to managing the pandemicâ without saying right up front that one of those âapproachesâ doesnât so much manage the spread of the coronavirus as promote it, because what are face masks but a personal style choice?
Goddamn, WaPo, youâre managing to suck harder than the New York Times when it was in full Cletus Safari mode. Let us castigate away!
