  The Guardian's comment section was called "Comment is Free," but was heavily moderated.

    Gratis vs Libre, perhaps. It’s a shame English is so stunted in this regard.

  Was there a specific instance you can point out where the Post got its facts wrong, and didn't correct it?

        An org thats concerned about democracy should not let ads which lie and opinion pieces without fact checking not allowed. That's what I expect but You may have diff standards

            Yes, they printed the lies about WMDs and put out loads and loads of articles in support of the war.

              At that point in time as Sadam had just used WMDs against the Kurds and many observes thought it likely he had not all of a sudden stopped having them. That no one found any WMDs later on does not make reporting what intelligence agencies said at the time “lying”. Do you have any information that the Washington Post was reporting something they knew to be untrue _at the time_?

                Taking what intelligence agency’s say at face value isn’t reporting, you’re just a state mouthpiece.
                • speleding 4y ago
                  At the time it was very reasonable to assume Saddam had (more) WMDs. Stating otherwise is suffering from hindsight bias, there is really no reason to assume malice here.
