This is the norm for the Washington Post.  It is a RAG and no one should be calling it "news".  Jeff Bezo's owns the WAPO - - if that isn't clue enough for you to stay away then I don't know what is.  The man is a crook.

2 articles where the writers are trying to set the record straight.  But you know how these things are, once they get out there in print, it's all but "SOLD" as news (and, sadly, as truth).
