I think he's getting downvoted because the Washington Post is, almost unquestionably, not a cult.
Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence, and he provided none.
- ixtli 8y agoWhile what you’re saying is clearly factually true, what he’s done was apply a very common style of sarcastic dismissal. I think it’s rather obvious he didn’t mean to imply WaPo was actually an organization similar to Om Shinrikyo. In all honesty I think if he’d have written some long form comment we’d all get the same point but have wasted far more time.
