This article is behind a paywall so undoubtedly the Washington Post (WAPO)is a for profit corporation. I'm compelled to think that there could be a bias towards unethical journalistic practice to get eyeballs. Perhaps sensationalism. Just a thought.
I subscribe to the Washington Post and cut and pasted the article for everyone to see.
Of course the WAPO in a for profit corporation and it is now owned by Jeff Bezos.
There are some great Newspapers in the world, The WAPO is one of them. The newspaper has won 69 Pulitzer Prizes, the second-most of any publication (after The New York Times).
To suggest that the Post could be "biased towards unethical journalistic practice to get eyeballs." is a ridiculous assertion as is any assertion that the Post is doing this to get more readers or that they are looking for sensationalism to sell papers is ridiculous.
Jeff Bezos has no editorial control over the Post. The WaPo and the NYT are the kind of papers that the world needs, because they represent what Great Newspapers should be,
I tried to post the article but is is too large to be posted as it is well over 10,000 words and is graphics heavy
Here is a tinyurl I created that might provide a link for those interested.
