The Washington Post clearly no longer cares about being taken seriously as a newspaper.
It just prints any old crap, and expects its readers to treat such as an accurate and truthful account.
Well, naturally - they have the good brand name now. Its like Starbucks for most Americans; they could change one of their roasts to 25% dried dung and 75% Arabica and call it some fancy Westwood/Tribeca name and people would loooove it! They've been well trained, drained, pumped full of disinfo, drugs, lies, cognitive dissonance; angst; existential insecurity and threats to their own lives, living and freedoms - as well as paying taxes to rob others of all of that too. I find modern Western life as somewhat akin to a massive mind-control experiment - a mix between MK/ULTRA and the creation of Cognitive Dissonance in those who don't believe in the Big Lies psyop. For a great, if simple film, that captures the moment we are living in might I suggest the oldie but goodie The King Of Hearts.
