It's an interesting project, but since it depends on the data it is being fed, its reliability is questionable. All media corporations have a large amount of media at their disposal (tv, radio, newspapers, etc) which is used to support the desired view on every piece of news, depending on the bias of the media. All of the media are either way biased, and are both used to influence and manipulate the consumers of these media to their line of thought, and as a product to be consumed by the niche that is aligned with that line of thought.
If that project was fed with crowdsourced, objective, verified data, then it would really be useful, but if it is fed with the databases of particular media, it can only be trusted as much as that media can be trusted.
And I'm not for or against The Washington Post, since I'm not from USA, and thus I don't really know the political stance or line of thought of The Washington Post. I'm just talking in a general case.
