      wapo editorials often make NYT look good by comparison, we don’t talk about this enough. they did one saying DC shouldn’t eliminate the tipped minimum wage because it would make restaurant meals cost more

      Back during the start of the Iraq war, the badness of the WaPo editorial page was a big theme among progressive bloggers. Now, although it remains bad, the same editorial page has much less currency. Not sure why.

          they just don’t have the same high profile enemies there, I think? like they don’t have any star-assholes in the league of bretbug, I think. he has done so much for the paper

          McArdle is there, but whatever deal was struck to give her WaPo money in exchange for an editor who's apparently willing to spike her most sociopathic takes... seems to have worked okay for the rest of us.

          Because they put "Democracy dies in darkness" at the top of their website so now libs like it

          Maybe because a lot of those progressive bloggers now work for (or want to work for) the Washington Post.

          Maybe there is a rule that bad takes begin to outweigh the attention one pays to bad takes. Although I have fave WAPO editorial moments from that era. Like the time they wept copiously for the late Pinochet. That was gothically beautiful.
