When I moved to CA in 2003, I read it online.

I saw the paper move to the right when Bill Clinton became President. I'll never forget how someone in the Style section wrote that Chelsea, who was about 12 at the time, had fat legs. I even kept reading when the Post told its writers to avoid any criticism of the Supreme Court's decision giving W the White House.

But no more. I stopped reading the Post online several years ago and feel much better for not being exposed to their right wing slant.

from 1969 to 1981, and read the Washington Post pretty regularly during that time.

It was an amazing newspaper back then. Ben Bradlee had the courage to support what Woodward and Bernstein were doing in their investigation of the Watergate break-in and subsequent cover-up. Unfortunately, Woodward has definitely turned to the dark side since then. I have no idea what Bernstein is up to. I think perhaps all of management got too comfortable.

Molly Ivins occasionally lamented that newspaper reporters no longer came up through the ranks, but went to journalism school and were (in her opinion) entirely too well paid to remain aggressive outsiders.

I really miss her.
