This just a recap of what WaPo has been doing in recent years.

Don’t cry for The Washington Post; it helped destroy media.
The Post has been one of the leading culprits in the collapse of public trust in journalism

Over the past decade, the Post has been one of the leading culprits in the collapse of public trust in journalism. The once-venerable outlet has spent the past 10 years participating in virtually every dishonest left-wing operation, including giving legitimacy to the Brett Kavanaugh group rape accusations, delegitimizing the Hunter Biden laptop story, spreading the Gaza “genocide” lie, covering up Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, sliming the Covington children and countless others.
You could write a book listing the Post pieces that were so biased as to be basically fictional.
The Washington Post has also been one of the worst offenders of the unsound journalistic practice in which reporters handpick useful partisan “experts” or “scholars” to act as opinion-writing proxies.
One memorable example carried the headline: “Vote to oust McCarthy is a warning sign for democracy, scholars say.”
To understand the activist mission of the Post, note that it fired 13 climate change reporters and one reporter whose only job was covering “race disparity.”
Let’s not forget, either, that contemporary “fact-checking” ruse, wherein left-wing opinion columnists playact as arbiters of truth and offer partisan arguments and value judgments under a patina of impartiality, was basically invented by the Post.
The newspaper was one of the few media outlets that could still afford much-needed on-the-ground coverage of the world. A few years ago, however, the paper turned into a propaganda outfit for Arab sheikhs. Forget the opinion side. At least six members of the Post’s foreign desk previously wrote for Qatari state-run media outfit Al Jazeera, including the Middle East editor, Jesse Mesner-Hage.
Needless to say, the Post’s coverage of the Middle East in recent years was rife with disinformation, necessitating retractions and editor’s notes when they were caught — usually long after the damage was done..
