Originally, yes. Then, after about three weeks the article you linked was printed. I've run out of the ability to link this month from the Post.

As a point of fact, I've read the Post almost every day for almost 40 years.

It doesn't matter what the subject you see it. A snowstorm prediction in January for the Great Plains, well that's global warming, even though snowstorms in the Great Plains in January is par for the course.

The reporting on the Ohio derailment placed the fault on because Trump, even before the cause was determined and afterwards when it was found the suspended regulations wouldn't have prevented the accident. Which I had said from the beginning.

Some of that I blame on the editors, whose job it is to reign some of that in. And some of it is the reporters who don't see their own biases.

I remember, you may not, when the New Hampshire Union Leader was excoriated for the paper's conservative views of its publisher, William Loeb. Think about that, the newspaper from one of the smallest states was national news. The same with the Tribune-Review of Greensburg, PA (for God's sake) because of its owner Richard Scaife. Neither had, or have, the throw weight nationally of the Post, yet national outlets continually criticized both.

I can't add anything better. The line between editorial and factual content is blurred by most sources these days.

I find it largely intolerable, so I just pick the worst of both sides and digest them both hoping whatever points of agreement I find between them must be the truth.

Is there anyone left without bias who can objectively measure bias? hehe. Who is fact checking the fact checkers?

Nevertheless, I think this is a very useful sight to try to understand how we each consume mainstream media in the modern era. Most of the media I consume is left of center. I read the New York Times and a few articles in the Atlantic. WTOP (Least biased), Associated Press, and Reuters are in my twitter feed. But I figured those three would be the least biased and just provide news. I don't read their opinion pieces.

I gave up on WashPo. Its quality tanked after Bezos bought it.

"it has been observed that there is more extreme right media out"

OK, post a list of both

I'd bet most on here would have NEVER heard of most of them.

I don't think that the case with the ones chosen by the poster I replied to.

P.S. rueters lost any credibility it might have had during the Iraq war when they made up a Capt. they used as their source.

Again, we agree.

Been to the Rod & Reel lately?

Naw. Never went there much to begin with and now that it's a casino the attraction is even less.

I was JUST in North Beach on Sunday and went to take a look. Started doing some research. I love water. It is calming for me and I was looking for a nice quick getaway west of the Bay Bridge with views of the bay and cheap rates.

I don't care much for the casino. Just a place to look out over the water and have a nice breakfast and dinner on the premises.

What a shame.

Something you may or not know.

The FIRST meeting of the Calvert County Sportsman Club was held there back in 1946.

I think you meant to say the Calvert County Democratic Central Committee.

One of the reasons I rarely go/went there (in addition to the fact we're really not a "go out to eat" family) is that I always found, over the years that the food was somewhat random. Meaning sometimes good and sometimes not (it went through an "everything is deep fried" phase a number of years ago).

Reminds me of Gordon Ramsey's show where good restaurants go stale. Usually when the chef and management get lazy and uninspired. Like going from freshly prepared and open flames to frozen foods and 6 microwaves. Or in this case, deep fryers.

Like a lot of places that depend on gambling for their cash flow (just to give you an idea how much that is, the year before the "slots" became legal permanently in Chesapeake Beach, before that the Legislature had to re-authorize them every couple years, over $150 million went through the machines in the four places that had them) food takes a back seat to the slots.
