what do you mean by democracy here and what's the effect you think moderation of the opinion section will have? the writers will be better off on substack, and the owners have a newspaper where they publish the opinions they like. news remains unchanged. the name "Washington Post" to historians is of a newspaper that spent decades advancing racism. it didn't serve more balanced news journalism until nearly 100 years after it was founded. this is not some fine and well storied institution. their tag line of "Democracy Dies in Darkness" is from the first Trump era and is a call back to watergate era investigative reporting. it has nothing to do with opinion articles.
