"Lack of credibility isn’t unique to The Post. Our brethren newspapers have the same issue. And it’s a problem not only for media, but also for the nation. Many people are turning to off-the-cuff [and to-the-point] podcasts, inaccurate [and accurate] social media posts and other unverified [and verified ]news sources, which can quickly spread misinformation and deepen divisions [and also end them, and sow the harmony of that undefeated champion]. The Washington Post and the New York Times [and our own mainstream media] win prizes, but increasingly we talk only to a certain elite. More and more, we talk to ourselves."
~ Jeff Bezos from his op-ed 'The hard truth: Americans don’t trust the news media'

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
