The last remaining ethics of the Washington Post continue to die in darkness. Each day the formerly respected paper reaches a new low. And then it finds a new low beneath that.
The new low is a bizarre effort to spin the attack on Republican members of Congress by James Hodgkinson, a Bernie Sanders supporter, to a right-wing talk show host. The article by Peter Holley is bizarre and shameful. But it's also an expression of contempt for the Washington Post's readers. It assumes that they are so stupid that they will believe that a Bernie Sanders supporter whose pet causes was raising taxes on the rich had been fired up by a right-wing talk show host.
And the sad thing is that Peter Holley probably is right. Washington Post readers really are that stupid.
The article doesn't come right out and make the claim directly. Because there is zero evidence for it. Instead it implies, hints, winks and nudges. It tells us that its targeted radio show host is a bad racist. And James Hodgkinson might have listened to him.
What more do you need anyway? At the Washington Post, that really is all you need.
