> We are sharing advertising revenue with the Post, but I’m pretty sure it won’t be much. Our hourly rate for our blogging time will remain pretty pathetic. We’re not in it for the money; if we were, we’d be writing briefs, not blog posts.

Sounds like this probably would have happened with or without the Post.

They still need an audience, though. Lots of important information goes undetected because it doesn't have audience reach.

The Post provides them that.

I know, it's not a criticism, I just looked it up because I was curious. I'm happy they're hosted there.

Good because WaPo is not a reputable source of information.

They're probably the most reputable & unbiased source of information.

How often do you read it? I recently moved to the DC area so the Post is my daily paper, and while I wouldn't read it if wasn't reputable, I don't think anybody can call it unbiased. It's not just the presidential campaign, they have clear, almost plainly stated bias in lots of areas. I'm fine with that, because it's not hidden and it's not so egregious that they report false stories or something, but the Post should not be your only source of news.

Are you joking? The Washington Post is one of the most left-leaning, biased papers in the country. They're not even subtle about it. Do you honestly not recognize this?

That depends on whether you saw the news about them holding illegal fundraisers or sending all their stories to the DNC for editorial review...

You should consider a career in comedy.
