- RyanZAG 9y agoThat sounds like crowdsourcing the core focus of the business then. The ability of people to point out factual errors should be kept for small details, not the all too common practice of posting articles without first getting them checked by experts. Why should unpaid experts have to go and spend hours posting corrections of the articles in Washington Post? Washington Post should be finding and paying experts to do this pre-publication. There needs to be some level of quality control at the Washington Post if they want to keep their reputation -- which they have tarnished very poorly since their push for the Iraq War and the role they had to making that war happen.
