WarPo (Washington Post nickname)

The Washington (DC) Post is a newspaper that has covered events in the nation’s capital city—especially the federal government—since 1877. The newspaper’s name is frequently shortened to “WaPo” or “WashPo.”
 
The Washington (DC) Post has been infrequently called “WarPo” in response to a perceived pro-war stance with respect to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. “WarPo” was printed in the Daily Kos in 2008. “WarPo Lies” was printed in LewRockwell.com by American libertarian Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. in 2017.
 
“War Street Journal,” for Wall Street Journal, is a similar nickname.
     
 
Wikipedia: The Washington Post
The Washington Post is an American daily newspaper. It is the most widely circulated newspaper published in Washington, D.C., and was founded on December 6, 1877, making it the area’s oldest extant newspaper. In 2017, it adopted the slogan “Democracy Dies in Darkness”.
 
Located in the capital city of the United States, the newspaper has a particular emphasis on national politics. Daily editions are printed for the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. The newspaper is published as a broadsheet, with photographs printed both in color and in black and white.

Gerson world’s worst person?

In his column today in the Washington Post, former Bush chief speechwriter Michael Gerson rips Al Franken for his 2000 piece in Playboy magazine, a satirical piece in praise of pornography (and no, I’m not linking the column because the more hits it gets, the more WarPo will pay him).

The New York Times has indicated by this glaring omission that its claim to responsible journalism is as phony as the “peace process” on which it devotes much space.
 
This long-time subscriber is ending his subscription immediately, after submitting the reason to Ms. Sullivan.
 
I’m going to see how Jeff Bezos does at the Washington Post.

Haha, good luck with WarPo. Neo-con hacks aplenty. Don’t give MSM a dime. Starve them out and give the money you save on the subscription price to mondoweiss.net, antiwar.com, infowars.com, etc.

So, the WarPo publishes BS, calls it evidence, in order to punch hippies? I’m shocked. [cough.. Iraqi WMD… cough]
