Really going downhill
October 19, 2021

They write misleading headlines, and since the change of management, they are more about opinion then news. It isn't what it used to be!

I was truly enjoying the coverage of Jeff Bezos historical flight when Christian Davenport had to bring race into the story. Why? What does this have to do with race other than the race to make space flight affordable. When he did that i immediately turned the channel. Not everything is about race. Don't get me wrong, race issues are long from being properly addressed and solved and is an issue that needs to be discussed. But this story was not the platform for that discussion.
Great camera work and fantastic overall coverage, but if Christian Davenport can't be better at choosing platforms to discuss issues, then take him off the air and then maybe I'll go back to WP.

They are OK, you can trust their latest news etc. But they can be biased in their reporting too. So you need to make your own judgement

Not journalism.
April 8, 2021

One hundred percent bashing of others' views is not journalism. It's like being in a jury and only being told one side and you must believe them. Total nonsense and would not believe one thing from this paper. Anti-American paper.

So obviously partisan
December 21, 2020

I haven't read 1 post that actually presented facts and statistics (only generalized). They are so obviously partisan it's sickening. I am the type of person that reads all sides of the story before having an opinion, which is why I read from WP. The Washington Post (among other biased news outlets) do NOT present you with all the information you need to make a logical opinion! They also do not understand that America has always been a Republic, NOT a Democracy (in which they slander Trump with so called "destroying democracy"). I learned about that in grade school over 10 years ago. Am I doing a better job at knowing America's history? Sure seems that way. Shouldn't be

Hi,

I recently came across your article about the American elections.

And I will like to say that I am disappointed and appalled.

As a news reporter you are suppose to report the news as it happens not give your own biased and corrupt view.

This is why my self friends and family will no longer be using any of your services.

You should show both sides of what is happening in America. The election fraud is the biggest scandal ever. And I have seen proof that it is real. Heck I watched it on the night of the elections. And saw how they switched the votes. Unless you are saying I am blind or stupid. I can no longer use you as a trusted source of information.

Encouraging the democrats to create a black list against the republicans and it's supporters, it's disgusting and reminds me of nazi Germany!

Also by suppressing people's voices and treating all republicans as racist uneducated kkk is creating even more of a divide. Especially when there are black republicans who vote based on the policies and not based on the colour of the skin.

If America does have a civil war, it will be the corrupt mainstream media who keep surpressing peoples voices are to blame!

They see things through a lens of one sided delusion. It's like if you see something happen very clearly and they refuse to acknowledge the truth of what happened even though the evidence is undeniably overwhelming. They don't care about the truth. It's insulting and most of their controversial and political posts especially are complete garage. Simply propaganda meant to detour the masses from the truth. Look at their reviews on google. 2.07 stars and ranked 22nd amongst political sites. Everyone is disasatisfied and they deserved to be banned.

I am a regular reader of the WP online. I enjoy many of the articles but I'm getting feed up with the frequent evidence of poor copy editing. Missing or misspelled words are aggravating but pale in comparison to whole paragraphs being repeated.
WHO IS RUNNING THIS PLACE?
Such inattention to detail brings everything they write into question. Surely the authors of these pieces have occasion to read them online. The writers should stand up and demand better.
The online version also has articles from outside sources that appear over and over again. A story about the disappearance of a huge Amazonian fish is repeated nearly a half dozen times. What's with that?
I'm fed up and will be subscribing to the NY Times in hopes that the editorial staff there is awake and doing their job.

I have learned about existence of this fine(not sure if I can call it a news outlet) site long ago. At the time I used it very occasionally for international news and odd articles. Then when Covid19 started, I started reading more, commenting more and thus realizing what it stands for. Funniest thing is I was neither republican nor democrat before I saw the stores burning and being looted. I could not say I am a conservative or progressive I simply didn't care. But that's the thing, as a human being you are usually able to see between lie or truth, justice or injustice. I will give you one example of the problem that could describe why WaPo is cancerous. A driver driving near Seattle protest tries to drive through a blocked by protesters road. He doesn't try or hurt anybody. Then he gets attacked by an aggressive protester. The driver shoots the attacker who first beats the driver and then tries to pull him from his car. Then he gets out of the car and surrenders to a policeman.
WaPo: innocent protester shot by a hater...
Do I need to add that any, absolutely any mew regarding trump shows him in a negative view. You know, I am not surprised why so many people who dislike Trump are so inadequate. Steeple simply lost any touch with reality watching and reading propaganda outlets like CNN or WaPo. I was banned from writing comments at WaPo when I said that their articles are one sided and they have no right to call themselves a news outlet.
Not only you wont find unbiased news at WaPo, you will be attacked by aggressive SJW in chat constantly. I don't have a problem with those, after all I found many interesting people to talk with in chat section.
These website are the enemy of the people, igniting hate division and misinformation. Half truth sometimes hurts more than lies. You do not have the rite to be called a news outlets if rather than news you promote your agendas and only put light on the events that serve your believes.
Zero is as much fair as I can rate WaPo after reading it for 2 months.

Biased BS
April 8, 2020

The Washington Post has been dispicably biased in its 2020 Democratic Primary coverage. It is an extremely conservative paper and has gone as far as to title a current piece reagarding Bernie Sanders' suspension of his campaign: "Bernie Sanders is out. And the Insincere Praise Begins." Just disgusting! Bernie Sanders has done more to promote the welfare of regular working class Americans and address climate change in a meaningful manner than any other candidate and all the WP can do is trash this rare politician who is singular in his integrity. They are shameful!

I delivered the Washington Post and The Washington Star in the early 1970s; during the Watergate Scandal era. There were more Post readers than Star readers in those days. Both were good newspapers, for the most part. The Star no longer exists. The Post has deteriorated drastically. It's not worth the cost of subscription, they have nothing to offer. Reporting at the Post has lost nearly all objectivity. Now it's just a rag full of liberal opinion, sensationalism, yellow journalism and trite drivel masquerading under the guise of news journalism (some might argue that was the case 40 to 50 years ago too). It's the epitome of yellow journalism. Bezos turned it into his own skewed political platform, with a focus on click bait, advertising and internet trackers. They have no real interest or focus in news journalism and objective reporting, just yellow journalism, sensationalism, and click bait. Lately, they won't even allow visiting their website in browser private mode. A dung heap tabloid.

Not enough Lies YET
September 9, 2017

The Washington post is probably one of the leading media sources, Oh no don't take that in a good way, What I am saying is; leading Make it up as you go along media sources. They stand in the way of reform for AMERICANS, is it possible the Washington post is just another Terrorist obama organization? So let's get real, no opinion that would be the current way of reporting. The post stands in the way of everything President Trump has proposed and attempts to improve our quality of life. What I mean when I say our, I mean Americans, living breathing, tax paying, working, families who are struggling because obama has given so much assistance to the others who enter our Great Nation that do none of the above, that kind of our. That is not an opinion, that is a fact, report on that washington post, you hide, (you cowards, another lesson learned from obama,), behind your freedom of speak amendment and block whatever you can. America, STOP buying any Product which is Advertised from or part of the Washington post, hit them in their pocket until they wake up and START to report TRUTH, if at all possible. Send a message to ALL the advertisers that WE THE PEOPLE, will not allow this to go on any further. This is what we can do, we are the LIFE BLOOD of America, lets choose where the blood pumps.
