Political Agenda
November 4, 2019
I realize my combination of four stars and "biased" with "political agenda" is weird. The story itself is OK--I think it's honest and sourced OK--but the focus on how three women shifted the tide last year could have been written at any point in the last year. Yet WaPo ran it on the Friday before the Tuesday election. That the three U.S. Reps--all Dems--attended rallies recently is not enough of a reason to run an article focused on them right before the election, especially since the Post didn't link to similar articles on the GOP side in this article. They could have saved this story until after the election and then baked the results of the election into this piece.
