Why Do Some Freepers Take the Washington Post Seriously?

Posted on 11/26/2017 8:24:56 AM PST by pinochet

It has been reported that a Washington Post reporter, Janell Ross, attended a top secret donor meeting of liberal donors organized by George Soros.

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/11/24/washington-post-reporter-caught-plotting-liberal-agenda-with-billionaire-george-soros.html

For many years, freepers have denounced the anti-conservative bias in the Washington post. Freepers invented the term Washington Compost to describe the newspaper because if its anti-conservative bias.

Then why did some freepers take the newspaper reports on Judge Moore seriously? If this is a newspaper whose reporters conspire with liberal donors at secret meetings, why should the Compost be treated more seriously than a press release from the Democratic National Committee?

The Compost was able to bring down Nixon in 1974, because the Globalists had a media monopoly. The globalists no longer have a media monopoly. Are the freepers opposed to Judge Moore ready to reconsider their views? What about the many women who defended Judge Moore's character? Should those women be believed as well?

When Ronald Reagan dealt with the reformist communist, Mikhail Gorbachev, Reagan's approach was 'Trust but verify'. But the Compost newspaper is made up of hardline commies like Brezhnev and Khruschev. Reagan's approach to such anti-reformers would have been 'Mistrust and Verify'. I suggest that negative stories about conservatives in the Washington Compost should be dealth with using that approach - Mistrust and verify.

Idk why conservatives care what WaPo says about Moore. I have noticed, however, that conservatives who hate Trump are not above pretending that WaPo’s pot shots at him matter.

I don’t know too many people here who actually believe the Compost regarding Moore, but there do seem to be quite a few people willing to hand off Congress to the Democrats to ‘teach the Republicans a lesson’ (if taxes go up by $50 under the Republican plan), or if the Republican on the ticket is a RINO.

Incredible that we would effectively help the Democrats BLOCK Trump’s judges for such petty causes...

Because the WP has an out-sized influence on the political elites of both parties. Having lived inside the Beltway for over 36 years, it is just a fact of life.

I have the same question about the so-called Conservative media, i.e., talk radio, Fox News, National Review, et al.

I can't even listen to or watch Sean Hannity anymore what with his every sentence ending in an apopleptic up-talk fashion.

Rush Limbaugh going into hystrionics over something the New York Times wrote.

I know the girlie men at NR have been NeverTrumpers from the get-go and I gave up on them a long time ago. I don't know why they are still considered part of the Conservative media.

But, you gotta give the WaPoo and New York Slimes some credit. They know full well, all they have to do is yell, "Squirrel!" and our side will go chasing after it. All they have to do is aks, "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?", and our side will trip all over each other trying to prove how smart we are by trying to answer the question.

That's why I love President Trump's tweets. He just steals their lunch and pops the bag.

And that's another thing. I'm sick of hearing everyone call PRESIDENT Trump just Trump.

Dumbasses. The God-less, brain-damaged, America-hating, baby-killing, National-Anthem-kneeling, Libtard bass turds HATE hearing him referred to as PRESIDENT Trump. And our side doesn't even take advantage of that little opportunity to poke them in the eye.

Sorry, but relatively few conservative voters “hate Trump”. There are a number of pretend-to-be-conservative media personalities and politicians whose real loyalties are to open-borders, free (on the American import end only) trade and globalism. Most of us true conservative voters are not fooled by this breed of Establishment Swamp denizen.

I can only speak from experience. If *some* diehard Cruz supporters don’t hate Trump, they put on a flawless act of appearing to. Though to be fair, they would probably claim only to ‘dislike,’ him.

WaPo is as objective as MSNBC. Unchallenged propaganda becomes accepted as truth. This website sees a fraction of the WaPo circulation, especially in the power centers.

Because they're trolls, sleepers, or plants?

I can't think of any other reasons....

You answered your own question.

Enemies ignored are just as dangerous as those you pay attention to.

...Because it feeds and affirms the elitist opinions they have of themselves.

LOL — I’m one of those “die hard” Cruz supporters (during the campaign) who once Trump got the delegates to win fervently supported him for election. By his actions since becoming President, Trump has proven to me that NOBODY (including Cruz) could have been a better fit during this time of peril to the Republic and Nation.

One thing we all need to realize is that the internecine battles of 2016 are long since behind us. Cruz is now a strong ally of Trump in the Senate (he doesn’t have that many in McConnellland). We’re in this war together — needless shots at Cruz are misdirected and need to be aimed elsewhere, IMHO.

I think we should take all the fake news seriously and show up at their doors with pitchforks, torches and rope, especially rope.

Heh, heh!

‘One thing we all need to realize is that the internecine battles of 2016 are long since behind us.’

Some have put it all behind and some haven’t. I see a smattering of hate-Trump posts almost every day. Mostly I ignore them. Once in a while I make a comment. I can tell you, as a result of those experiences, that Trump-hate is alive and well.

They should be taken seriously and destroyed, but our side doesn’t fight. Only Trump fights.
We don’t deserve what he is trying to do for us.

What if we all showed up at their doors with AR-15s? Empty with no magazines, just pull bolts to the rear then let them slam forward; a chorus of black rifles going “shlank! shlank! shlank!!!” would give any liberal the vapors.

Just a thought.

Seriously, Freepers should do some research on the Washington Post and its isolated culture & people who talk only to each other; in 1972 they couldn’t comprehend why Nixon won in a landslide because no one they knew voted for him.

Out of touch is putting it mildly.
