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.

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.

Why Do Some Freepers Take the Washington Post Seriously?

Because they're trolls, sleepers, or plants?

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

“” The Compost was able to bring down Nixon in 1974, because the Globalists had a media monopoly.”””

You answered your own question.

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

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

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.

It’s a good question. That rag is just stupid leftist propaganda these days. It’s pathetic.

The Compost has as much credibility as Tokyo Rose, and rather less sincerity, charm and integrity. It was clear, to anyone paying attention, that the Roy Moore piece was a smear job orchestrated in collusion with Mitch McConnell.

And I may be wrong, but the think the credit for naming the “Compost” belongs to Mark Levin.

“Taking it seriously” and believing it are two different things. It still has huge influence, whether we like it or not.

"Why Do Some Freepers Take the Washington Post Seriously?"

Mostly because they are left-over trolls who came aboard during the years after the 2000 election.

From the my earliest time here FR has been infected with rinos and country club republicans.

They are aging out and passing on and for those left it’s the republican party first and foremost.
