I never mentioned MSNBC. I was rebutting your crass comparison of The Washington Post with Fox News.

WaPo is fake news central admittedly, 250 million I seem to recollect they are being sued for. Their defence is that they publish fake news so what is news?

Their defence was that the claim was baseless as the articles were opinion:

"According to court documents, Judge William O. Bertelsman ruled that seven Washington Post articles and three tweets about now 17-year-old Sandmann were protected by the First Amendment and deemed opinion. "

Additionally, your generalization is noted.

You claim Fox News is propaganda. I claim MSNBC is propaganda. The WAPO could very well be in the same category as MSNBC

There are many who dislike him in New York. The NYPD universally loath him. What makes him think he'd be the cat's whiskers as a candidate?

It's almost certain that WAPO has spent and is spending a considerable amount of staff time digging up anything negative they can..
