The WaPo's ownership changed between the Iraq war and today, though I don't think Bill Moyers' statements are reliable sources of fact in any case. Yes, the Post opposed Trump (as did almost every newspaper in the U.S., conservative, moderate, or liberal).
The rest is pure speculation and conjecture; their motives, good and bad, could be anything, and likely have little to do with your particular concerns.

- hackuser 10y agoTo be honest, I don't look at Wikipedia references. I think Wikipedia is the prime example of people's willingness to accept misinformation on the Internet. I would expect the owner, not the editor, determines the politics of the editorial page. Newspapers don't change their political stances significantly when they change editors, but they do when they change owners.
