I lost all respect for the NYT after this Tuesday's over the top coverage of Hillary's illness. The WP, on the other hand, is a serious newspaper.

meme for decades too. Trump made the mistake of cutting the Post out of his news conferences, and they retaliated by giving him the Hillary treatment.

This election year I have subscriptions to both. No excuses, no excusing, no forgiveness for what I have witnessed.

The nytimes is my local paper, so it kinda sucks, but I subscribe to thr Washington post for national and international news. (Like I pay for it. Nytimes I only read what I can for free.)

but some time ago I read where for a lot of the business reporters they are always going back & forth sort of from the Wall Street Journal & the NY Times. I don't know but they have really seemed to go after the Clintons this election.

When I first saw the title of your OP, I thought you meant the New York Post.

Thank heavens that I read the full OP. You meant the WaPo. Whew!

As some have noted, the WaPo - until recently - has been every bit as bad as any M$M source. But it has been better in some respects lately.
