WashPost Avoids L-Word, Touts 'Warren Wing' of the Democrats

December 12th, 2014 9:04 AM
Apparently, The Washington Post can’t use the word “liberal” without feeling slightly nauseous.

On the front page, it was all “populist” euphemism

WashPost Notes GOP Absence from MLK Event, Uses Michael Steele to Deno

August 29th, 2013 12:49 PM
On page 2 of Thursday’s Washington Post was an article noticing “Republicans absent from March on Washington.” But reporter Ed O’Keefe turned that fact around on the GOP, noting that invitations were declined from three Bushes, two House leaders, and John McCain.

The Washington Post’s Ed O’Keefe awarded the “rock star” label to amnesty-advocating Rep. Luis Gutierrez on the front of Thursday’s Style section: “From California to Nevada to Florida, the congressman from Chicago is received like a rock star: People cheer when he enters the room; they pump their fists and stomp their feet.

May 23rd, 2013 4:58 PM
On last Friday’s Washington Week, PBS moderator Gwen Ifill brought in a panel of four liberal journalists to dissect the three scandals that have plagued the Obama administration the past couple of weeks.

WaPo Went Birther On Cruz, But They're Not Alone

May 8th, 2013 5:53 PM
Birtherism isn't all that bad to the liberal media when a rising conservative star may be the target.
