What does that make YOU?

Remember " those that cast the insult are usually the one's GUILTY of that insult", someone said!

Do you trust every thing the gov't tells you?

Remember, "I am from the gov't and here to help you!"

P.S. I grew up with the with, post and worked with 2 "highly respected" fed agencies and I don't trust a damn thing they say because of 1st hand personal experience.

And you?
LOL, and you are someone posting on a message board and we are to take your word, yeah, no.

I don’t know why these demographics facts triggers you so much. Census data is not even a political statement, but your reaction to it screams bigotry to everyone on this board.
"This isn’t an opinion piece." Right!''Obviously you are not that familial with the post.

EVERY article they do has some bias in it.

You don't see it because you AGREE with their bias.

"If you don’t trust census numbers, then I can’t help you."

If you believe everything the fed says, then I can’t help you"!

Instead of evading my question, why don’t you just answer it. Is it because your answer is bigoted? Prove me wrong. I ask again, what is WP’s agenda behind reporting on the demographics numbers?

EVERY thing they print is biased."

You believe everything they say, so you DON'T see it.

And if you believe EVERY gov't stat is 100% correct, I REALY feel sorry for you!
Interesting website. How does the website account for shifts in the definitions of left and right? For example it has been observed that there is more extreme right media out there that could skew the scale and make what used to be unbiased or centered media now left of center.

Is there anyone left without bias who can objectively measure bias? hehe. Who is fact checking the fact checkers?

Nevertheless, I think this is a very useful sight to try to understand how we each consume mainstream media in the modern era. Most of the media I consume is left of center. I read the New York Times and a few articles in the Atlantic. WTOP (Least biased), Associated Press, and Reuters are in my twitter feed. But I figured those three would be the least biased and just provide news. I don't read their opinion pieces.

I gave up on WashPo. Its quality tanked after Bezos bought it.

The problem with the Post, as well as many other outlets, isn't the politics in the Editorial/Op-Ed pages (whether you agree with the positions taken or not) but that you can see the political agenda creeping into and spread out through the regular news stories.

It doesn't matter what the subject you see it. A snowstorm prediction in January for the Great Plains, well that's global warming, even though snowstorms in the Great Plains in January is par for the course.

The reporting on the Ohio derailment placed the fault on because Trump, even before the cause was determined and afterwards when it was found the suspended regulations wouldn't have prevented the accident. Which I had said from the beginning.

Some of that I blame on the editors, whose job it is to reign some of that in. And some of it is the reporters who don't see their own biases.

I remember, you may not, when the New Hampshire Union Leader was excoriated for the paper's conservative views of its publisher, William Loeb. Think about that, the newspaper from one of the smallest states was national news. The same with the Tribune-Review of Greensburg, PA (for God's sake) because of its owner Richard Scaife. Neither had, or have, the throw weight nationally of the Post, yet national outlets continually criticized both.

Did you learn about that from the Washington Post? https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...o-train-wreck/
