It’s sad to see what’s happened to the Post. The fine paper that was a shining beacon of truth is now a purveyor of MAGA propaganda. I’m very glad I canceled my subscription.
No doubt you are aware that Rep. Jim Jordan in his opening statement in the Jack Smith hearings cited the outlandish Post editorial and inserted it into the record. It is interesting that the Post’s coverage of the hearings didn’t mention that embarrassing fact. (But cf. the NY Times which did -- writing “Mr. Smith and his team interfered in the “democratic process by seeking to muzzle a candidate for a high office,” Representative Jim Jordan, Republican of Ohio and the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said in his opening statement, quoting from an editorial in The Washington Post.” )
I was hoping that one of the Democratic members would at least place your letter into the record. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. But thanks at least for getting a letter-to-the-editor in the Post to point out the errors of the Post’s editorial. The Post should have run it as an op-ed article.
The policies of the new editorial board have contributed to many readers cancelling and/or refusing to renew subscriptions to WaPo. I am one of them.
I am of the opinion that both Jack Smith & Mr. Eliason have mischaracterized trump's actions in this case. "Disinformation" carries the most accurate political tone in that it is done, primarily in the context of international politics (see Russia, China, N.K., et al.) to persuade populations to switch gears from democracy to totalitarianism. That, of course, accurately describes trump, as is now obvious to the most naive observer. That makes the WaPo board co-conspirators in a plot to overthrow the constitutional government of the US, but that's OK, so long as Bezos is one of the anointed rulers.
Thank you! I wish there were more people like you.

Beautifully argued, beautifully written, and 100% correct.

Thanks - I was hoping the same thing!
Thank you, Randall. The Washington Post is a channel for Trump propaganda. End of story.

Agree 100%.
