Prior to Nats Parade, WashPost Writer Laments Delay in One for Mystics
November 1st, 2019 6:35 PM
Washington Post local news columnist Petula Dvorak often plays the identity politics card in her items for the Metro section, seeing things like racism and sexism everywhere. And after a column boasting how it’s not the Nationals that unites The Swamp but a rabid hatred of President Trump, she used her spot in Friday’s print edition to suggest the champion Washington Mystics have been shafted…

WashPost Omits Virginia Abortion Mill Transformed Into Free Clinic
December 2nd, 2017 3:53 PM
Two years ago, I noted The Washington Post couldn’t find any staffers or any space to cover the closing of Amethyst Health Center for Women, the abortion clinic near my home in Manassas, Virginia. And now, the Post again could not find space when this former abortion clinic was blessed by the local Catholic bishop Michael Burbidge as the new Mother of Mercy Free Clinic. To pro-lifers, it felt…

WashPost Columnist Hates Pro-Lifers Claiming Victory as Clinic Closes
September 29th, 2017 11:57 AM
Washington Post Metro columnist Petula Dvorak lamented on Friday about “An abortion provider’s agonizing decision to quit.” Todd Stave agreed last month to sell his property to the Maryland Coalition for Life, “the antiabortion group that opened a crisis pregnancy center across the parking lot and staged frequent protests outside his door.” Dvorak couldn't accept pro-lifers claiming victory....…
Media Ignore Crimes of Lefty Protesters, While Smearing Conservatives
January 30th, 2017 4:42 PM
Media coverage of protests is so ideologically biased as to deceive the public. Tea Party protests were law-abiding, and so orderly that they usually left no trash behind (unlike the recent Women’s March in Washington, or attendees of the 2009 Obama inauguration, who left behind lots of trash).

WashPost Writer Links Pizzagate to Abortion Videos, Giffords Shooting
December 7th, 2016 3:36 PM
Washington Post local columnist Petula Dvorak waded into the ginned-up fake news debate in her Tuesday column as she compared the false and unsubstantiated Pizzagate story to the “doctored” and “gotcha” videos that spawned the Planned Parenthood scandal and Sarah Palin causing then-Congresswoman Gabby Giffords to be shot in 2011 (even though the first case was real and the second was thoroughly…

WashPost Columnist Pans New Trump DC Hotel Before It Even Opens
September 12th, 2016 1:08 PM
How do you review a hotel before it even opens? It's simple if you are an over the top liberal moonbat columnist who has a political grudge against the owner to extent you are perfectly willing to toss all credibility away in order to make strictly ideological points.
In this case it is Washington Post columnist Petula Dvorak who panned Donald Trump's new Washington hotel opening today, the…

WashPost Resurrects Trangender Kid to Lament ‘Hateful’ Bathroom Debate
May 17th, 2016 6:25 PM
Washington Post local columnist Petula Dvorak appears to have made it an firm habit of continually updating the life of a transgender child named Tyler for at least four years so she naturally returned to the child and his family on Tuesday to denounce the “hateful” and “mostly stupid” debate over transgender bathroom laws that they claim wasn’t started by the LGBT community.

WashPost Lovingly Revisits 'Transgender at Five' Front-Page Story
October 18th, 2015 9:24 AM
Washington Post columnist Petula Dvorak happily updated her three-year-old “Transgender at 5" front-page story, three years later. The headline was “Transgender at 8: Tyler remains certain he’s a boy as the world changes around him.”
Dvorak said when she first touted “Tyler,” it “was before Caitlyn Jenner landed on the cover of Vanity Fair. Before Laverne Cox became a star for her portrayal of a…

WashPost Columnist: PP Video Just Another Grotesque Pro-Life Poster
July 17th, 2015 12:10 PM
There had to be someone in the liberal media who looked at the Planned Parenthood sting video and decided it meant nothing. That it was all the Big Lie. Meet Washington Post columnist Petula Dvorak.
Her Friday column in the paper was headlined “Planned Parenthood deserves to be supported, not attacked.” She dismissed the whole video as just another distasteful pro-life protest poster.

WashPost Columnist Dvorak Hails 'Righteousness' and 'Courage' of Boy S
January 29th, 2013 4:33 PM
"Welcome to this century, Scouts," cheered liberal Washington Post columnist Petula Dvorak in her January 29 column headlined "Boy Scouts can, belatedly, set an example of courage."

WaPo's Dvorak Blasts Conservative Restaurant Owners, Compares 'Papa Jo
August 14th, 2012 1:14 PM
"Since when does serving up junk food give someone a license to preach?" carped Petula Dvorak as she opened her August 14 piece, "Now featuring filet o' fracas."* Gee, I dunno, Petula, maybe 1791, when the First Amendment -- you know, that pesky little document that guarantees freedom of speech and religion among other things -- was ratified.
"We've got the Papa John's pizza guys weighing in…

WashPost Sides with Late-Term Abortion Activist's Counter-Harassment
March 30th, 2012 8:50 AM
One might think that a landlord that welcomed in one of the nation's most notorious late-term abortionists could be labeled "controversial." But in The Washington Post, he's just the Neat Idea Man. In Friday's Post, columnist Petula Dvorak began, "Regardless of how you feel about abortion, the way Todd Stave flipped the script on his bullies is pretty dang clever." Wrong. If you feel abortion…
WaPo Columnist Uses Military Women to Shill for Contraception Mandate
March 6th, 2012 2:08 PM
Liberal media outlets have proven pathologically incapable of telling the truth about the Obama administration’s birth control mandate, portraying the issue as a war on women. Now, the Washington Post is even using a woman’s military conference to defend the Obama administration’s blatant violation of religious liberty, and to attack its critics.
Washington Post columnist Petula Dvorak…
