If not, then you just aren’t listening, man. Washington Post music critic Chris Richards made the front page of the Style section with “And the Bland Played On.” The original online headline to the post was kookier: “…

Referring to GOP senators vowing to not hold hearings for President Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, MSNBC's Chris Matthews suggested racism may be to blame.

March 14th, 2016 11:35 AM
The Washington Post “Fact Checker” should really be turned on his own newspaper. Post writer Dan Zak penned a nasty-gram trashing the recently deceased Nancy Reagan, with this headline on the front of the Style section. “How Nancy Reagan just said no on HIV/AIDS.” Then there was the online headline: “On drugs, Nancy Reagan just said no.

March 7th, 2016 8:57 AM
This issue: MSNBC host Chris Matthews says the GOP's "number one goal is to keep blacks from voting," while journalists debate whether Donald Trump more resembles an American Adolf Hitler or a "right-wing" talk radio host. Meanwhile, NBC anchor Lester Holt is already getting tingles up his leg about the prospect of "the first female President;" Disney boss Robert Iger insists that George…
The Press Mocked the Reagans' Love For Each Other
March 6th, 2016 11:45 PM
Former First Lady Nancy Reagan died today.
The Associated Press's Christopher Weber, in an otherwise predictably passive-aggressive obituary, got one thing right: "The Reagans' mutual devotion over 52 years of marriage was legendary."

WashPost Plays the Hitler Card Again — In a House Editorial
March 3rd, 2016 12:59 AM
The Washington Post's obsession over Donald Trump is a sight to behold — but not a pretty one.

WashPost Reporter Fails to Correct False Claim on Trump and Duke
March 2nd, 2016 10:14 PM
Evan Gahr of the Daily Caller notes that The Washington Post and their race/gender reporter Janell Ross falsely claimed on Tuesday that Donald Trump “failed on national TV to resoundingly reject the support of David Duke," ignoring a Tuesday morning phone interview on ABC where Trump clearly disavowed Duke and other white supremacists.
WashPost Stumbles, IDs Pro-Lifers as 'Abortion Rights' Activists
March 2nd, 2016 1:16 PM
The Washington Post goofed in a caption for a picture accompanying Sarah Kaplan's Wednesday article. Kaplan spotlighted the people who waited for hours in cold and wet conditions outside the Supreme Court in order to witness the oral arguments in the latest abortion case.

WashPost Signs Up Joe Scarborough for Its Opinion Page
February 29th, 2016 11:25 AM
The Washington Post opinions section is doubling its MSNBC host contingent. In addition to a monthly column from Rachel Maddow, the Post is adding Joe Scarborough, who spent the last x years writing a column for Politico.
