The Washington Post, is a national media institution who has had their press credentials revoked by Trump. Therefore the organization, by definition, at a disadvantage, when it comes to gaining CONTEXT about the subject of their reporting. Thus, The Washington Post is mired in CONTROVERSY. This is only natural.
People misinterpret each other's text messages and internet comments, often with CONTROVERSIAL outcomes, because the initiator of the message has failed to provide sufficient CONTEXT. This is only natural.
The entire aviation industry vilified Captain Sullenberger, even though he had just saved 155 peoples lives, because everyone investigating the incident lacked sufficient CONTEXT to explain to themselves, and each other how Sully was able to accomplish something that had never happened in the history of aviation. Captain Sullenberger did, in fact, possess sufficient CONTEXT, which he gained over a long career of landing other failing airplaines. This CONTEXT possessed by Sullenberger, at least as portrayed in the movie, is written all over Tom Hanks face in the form of a stiff upper lip. That guy was as cool as the other side of the pillow the whole time, before, during, and after his water landing. Once sufficient CONTEXT was provided, the CONTROVERSY immediately subsided. This is only natural.
The United States of America is at a fairly CONTROVERSIAL point in its history. I wonder, if American's sought out the true CONTEXT of the people they find the most CONTROVERSIAL, their political opponents, if said CONTROVERSY would naturally subside.
Find someone you disagree with, and see how long you can keep talking to them.
