Leaking Integrity
Washington Post Gives the Lie to its Readers
by Allan Uthman


--snip--

There is simply no excuse for the Washington Post’s April 9 editorial, called “A Good Leak.” There is no explanation for it, other than that the Post has grown to love the taste of presidential ass in its mouth. No “neutral” publication’s editors have ever published something so deliberately deceptive, so boldly incorrect in my experience. Not Time, not Newsweek, not even the New York Times. This editorial is the end for the Post, the death-knell of its integrity after many an ugly hack and wheeze.

You know, if you made a commercial that was this dishonest (“Aquafresh makes your balls bigger!”), they’d fine your ass for false advertising. Why is it, then, that these ‘journalists’ can just lie to us with impunity? Why is that not illegal? It can’t be part of the first amendment that a top daily newspaper can just make things up and pretend they’re true. That’s not free speech; it’s deliberate deception.
