MSNBC’s Chris Matthews was on a roll yesterday while discussing the signing of the health care bill when he said the Washington Post “used to be a liberal paper” and that it was now “hard to read ideologically” as Post editoral writer Jonathan Capehart referred to the paper as “independent”.
From Eyeblast.tv
Matthews’ statements will probably come as a surprise to post publisher Katharine Weymouth who has kept the paper firmly on the liberal track that her late grandmother Katharine Graham established so long ago.
As for Capehart’s contention that the paper was independent I don’t even think that Post Chairman Donald Graham believes that.

5 Comments for Matthews: ‘WaPo Used to Be a Liberal Paper’
i disagree on matthews’ statement. the Washington Post is still as liberal as it was in the past.
If the Post were truly liberal, it wouldn’t be beating a drum every other day to preserve DC vouchers. Matthews might be on to something.
TryAgainBubba, you’re wrong. The Post had no choice but to recognize vouchers actually WORK! See what happens when the left wingnuts actually pay attention for a change instead of pounding their talking points. Shame we couldn’t get them to see the light on health care…
Nothing the Washington Post has ever done or might do will ever redeem the damage it has done to America as a paper of record by disinformation, manipulation, spiking, omission, covering up and whatever else it took to keep the truth about the termite left from the public.
The Washington Post has always had a liberal agenda and took advantage of its influence to diss the right. Now the chickens have come home to roost and I hope they mess all over the WP and it goes down in ignominy the way it deserves.
Matthews needs to be removed from the air. He is a buffoon. I look forward to all of the mainstream media going bankrupt because of their liberal bent and aiding and abetting of this criminal administration.
