It's not that they don't align with my political stance, it's that they don't do their job of providing broad-spectrum information on the actions of governments and corporations. To emphasize, Top Secret America was an outstanding expose of the military-intelligence contracting system, but that was before Bezos got his ~600 million CIA web services contract, and soon after that he spent what, ~$250 million to buy the Post, after which that kind of investigative journalism was eliminated. However, your point is pretty valid - back in 2002, the WaPo regurgitated US government talking points on (non-existent) Iraq WMDs without bothering to do any investigative pushback. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2002/10/11/congress-passes-iraq-resolution/777079d8-dbf2-40e2-9b91-f775b14f174f/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2002/10/11/c...
