I'm surprised, most of you should be jumping up and down about another opinion piece, because that's what this is. An opinion piece written by an obvious lefty:

The Post will put out a formal article when they make their endorsements (they endorsed Baker during the primary elections) like this one.

An unapologetic WAPO pushes Jealous over Hogan....

It no wonder the Libs were against Citizens United....the only Corps that could support candidates would of been Unions and newspapers


Another free ad for Jealous

Katrina vanden Heuvel is an opinion columnist. I think the Post has been pretty fair. Their MD politics reporters, Erin Cox and Ovetta Wiggins, are tough and fair. Cox was the reporter that Jealous f-bombed. The Post endorsed Ehrlich in the 2006 race against O'Malley and has endorsed Nancy Floreen over Marcc Elrich in the MoCo executive race. And I thought Bob McCartney's piece on the strength of Hogan's support among the party base, despite his clear breaks with Trump, was quite favorable toward Hogan. The Baltimore Sun's edotoral board is far more predictable and consistently to the left of center. Not the Washington Post.

I don't even know what to say to that except if you think WashPo is fair and center....damn. You must be freaking Karl Marx.
