66. Sure thing WP. Like you have a shred of credibility
Fri Oct 25, 2024, 01:29 PM
Friday

about this when you spent hour after hour attacking Joe about his age and gave crickets for the other guy. The WP has honestly had little credibility as a journalism endeavor for many years. They know very well the money laundering game on K Street and the rest about most of the typical ways of corruption and the ones involved but they whistle past the graveyard and act as though scum like Tom DeLay are the rare exception. But the WP sold it's soul long ago in order to continue to be invited to the cocktail parties of the movers and shakers so they can be used as stenographers for the agenda of "sources within" this or that agency, office etc. So that internal rot of ethics leads us to where we are today with supposed "journalists" withholding information relevant to criminal investigations and/or an informed public and instead of turning it over they wait to make things public until their book comes out and they can monetize it.

Money grubbing scum with a college degree and a keyboard are still money grubbing scum no matter what, no matter where they go or how they try to dress it a different way.
