Washington Post App

WP was a high-quality publication. Then the turn when Trump came to power (for the second time). The turn away from truth towards misinformation. The turn towards false equivalency. Just … a shame and shameful.

★★★★★May 29, 2026
Terrible paper!

Now it’s just right wing nonsense and garbage!

The hand on the pulse

The wp is our general practitioner without which our knowledge of the heart of government would be badly diminished. Mr Bezos ought to rise to this sacred duty.
